SeaAhead Pilot Reverse Pitch Webinar: Coastal Resilience in New England
We’re excited to share that SeaAhead is launching SeaAhead Pilot, a new program designed to connect pilot-ready startups with real-world customers and end-users.
In this first year, our theme is Coastal Resilience and Coastal Asset Protection. We're especially focused on startups that can help coastal stakeholders and decision-makers characterize coastal conditions, predict hazards and system behavior, and intervene against risks and negative outcomes.
Through SeaAhead Pilot, we collaborate with not only startups but also the corporations and organizations that could benefit from external innovation.
SeaAhead Pilot’s theme is driven by our sponsors. To hear from a set of program sponsors and coastal stakeholders about their particular coastal resilience priorities and what they’d like to see from startups, join us on March 10, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET for a reverse pitch webinar.
Presenters:
Waterson Terminal Services – Ryan Daniels, Port Engineering and Capital Projects Manager
Atlantic Resiliency Innovation Institute – Jeremy Devaney, Executive Director and Co-Founder
Town of Plymouth – Mike Cahill, Climate Resiliency and Sustainability Planner
Attendees are welcome and encouraged to submit questions through the chat during the event.
This session is a chance for startups to:
Hear directly from a set of potential pilot partners about possible deployment and collaboration opportunities
Understand how industry leaders and coastal decision-makers are thinking about engaging with external innovation
Start developing pilot ideas that match real operational needs for the SeaAhead Pilot program application
Other organizations that are not sponsors but are interested in the program are welcome to join as well to learn more about SeaAhead Pilot.
If you are a corporation, organization, public agency, or municipality that is interested in participating in a reverse pitch as a presenter, please reach out to Julia Pangan ([email protected]).
