NYC OceanTech Summit 2026
The NYC OceanTech Summit connects ocean innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers in the Greater NYC area. Dive into the future of marine science, robotics, AI, climate tech, and the Blue Economy in one transformative day.
This year we are co-hosting with LACI, and BATWorks.
Welcome to the third year of the summit. We meticulously designed this summit to build community and highlight the ocean's role in climate tech. We are focused on the lab-to-market phase of technologies at the ocean-climate nexus.
The day will be split into multiple parts. This includes innovator pitches, fireside chats, demos, and panels.
Throughout the day, researchers are invited to participate in the Three Minute Thesis competition, highlighting cutting-edge research and discoveries in ocean science and technology from institutions in the NYC area. Express interest in pitching here.
Outside of the main hall will be the Innovation Expo, with targeted networking to connect the established startup community with local ocean talent. If you're a startup, apply to table here.
