​You're invited: SeaAhead Pilot Showcase June 24-25, 2026 in Boston's Seaport District (venue details to follow)

​Meet thirteen pilot-ready startups across two days of pitches, breakouts, and direct conversations with innovators building solutions for coastal resilience and coastal asset protection.

​If your organization or your client base owns, operates, or insures coastal infrastructure – or if you're navigating climate risk to physical assets, supply chains, or operations – this showcase is built for you. You'll meet founders with technologies ready to deploy, hear from peers already running pilots, and explore where a real-world test could fit into your own roadmap.

​Selected startups have been vetted by a SeaAhead review panel and span a wide range of capabilities and applications:

• ​Safer, faster coastal infrastructure inspection through robotics and AI-powered monitoring

• ​Shoreline protection and restoration through nature-inspired engineering and reef-building

• ​Collecting and converting sargassum into recoverable resources for industry

• ​Geospatial platforms for shoreline change, flood risk, and climate exposure to understand where and how coastal risk is changing

• ​Filling gaps in real-time ocean and water quality data to support environmental decision-making

• ​Decision-support tools for capital planning, biodiversity compliance, and resilience investment

• ​Turning fragmented maritime data into actionable intelligence for ports, insurers, and defense stakeholders

​Check out the official list of participating startups here.

​In addition to startup pitches, you'll also hear from panelists and speakers about how they are thinking about coastal resilience innovation for their operations and stakeholders.

​Join us for an exciting two days of conversation, connection, and collaboration!
