Vision

Our vision is an ocean observation market characterized by innovation, in which players provide and use new technologies and comprehensive data for a sustainable approach to the ocean.

Mission

SOOP activates the knowledge, awareness and interest of science, society, business and politics.

SOOP develops reliable, cost-effective and user-friendly standardized measurement systems, services and provides a data platform that are used to collect, provide and use ocean data.

SOOP establishes a network for an innovation-based value chain to strengthen ocean observation.

Community

We encourage close collaboration between science, industry and society to enable a paradigm shift in ocean observation through joint projects. Together, we test ideas and work on the implementation of innovation projects to utilize existing maritime structures and new explorative approaches for sustainable data collection.

We are looking to connect with a wide range of partners. We welcome ocean industries, NGOs, academics, policy and regulators and everybody who is passionate about the ocean and climate change.
