An exciting journey into the Blue Economy is on the horizon!
Launching in early 2025, the SOOP Incubator Program is designed to support innovative minds and passionate teams on their path to sustainable business models.
SOOP recognizes the best ideas in ocean observation and supports these teams in the SOOP Incubator Program on their journey to viable and innovative business models.
This program employs a structured, iterative approach. Through dynamic sprints and agile methodologies, teams will transform their ideas into tangible solutions. Experienced experts and mentors will be on hand to unleash creativity and pave the way for a sustainable future.
Whether a clear vision is already in place or ideas are still in development, the SOOP Incubator Program elevates every team to the next level—“Accelerator-Ready.” Clear participation criteria and mandatory workshops ensure the commitment and engagement of all participants.
This is the chance to bring ideas to life and make a positive impact on the Blue Economy. Participants will become part of an exciting movement aimed at redefining the future!
Upon successful completion of the program, opportunities for seed funding and access to advanced accelerator programs will be available.
