SUMMARY:UNOC Side Event: Advancing the Ocean Enterprise Within the Blue Economy
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday 12 June\, 1230 – 1330 \nWhere: Scool Nice\, Le Pin Hotel \nHost: Marine Technology Society \nDescription: A rapidly developing blue economy requires a globally connected ocean enterprise that provides critical ocean technology\, measurements\, and forecasts to drive positive economic benefits and expand employment opportunities. However\, multiple technology and implementation challenges exist for observing and monitoring the ocean. Robust private sector engagement is essential in dismantling these barriers and identifying opportunities towards achieving a mature and vibrant ocean enterprise. \nHow can public private partnerships accelerate innovation\, reduce costs\, and drive new commercial applications? \nThis event is a side event at the 3rd UN Ocean Conference. \n\nPanelists:  \n\nChris Ostrander\, Moderator | CEO\, Marine Technology Society (MTS)\nLarsen Mettler\, Managing Director\, Oceans | S2G Investments\nJulie Angus\, Co-Founder and CEO | Open Ocean Robotics\nJyotika Virmani\, Executive Director | Schmidt Ocean Institute\n\nRVSP is not necessary\, however\, if the event may fill\, we will have to turn folks away if the venue reaches capacity.
