Ocean Supercluster

For ocean-focused businesses looking to innovate, collaborate, and scale, the Ocean Supercluster offers a powerful opportunity to be part of Canada’s rapidly growing blue economy. Active in Newfoundland and Labrador and supported through federal and provincial collaboration, this initiative brings together companies, researchers, and industry partners to accelerate the development and commercialization of made‑in‑Canada ocean solutions. The focus spans critical areas such as clean energy and energy transition, sustainable food production, advanced marine transportation, and climate-related technologies.

Rather than funding isolated projects, the Ocean Supercluster is designed to build partnerships and ecosystems. Businesses that participate often work alongside other companies, post‑secondary institutions, and innovators to tackle shared challenges and bring new technologies to market faster. Funding support is non‑repayable and varies depending on the scope and impact of each project, helping offset a meaningful portion of development, testing, and commercialization costs. This collaborative approach is especially valuable for companies developing complex ocean technologies that benefit from shared expertise and infrastructure.

With applications typically open on an ongoing basis for projects that align with its priorities, the Ocean Supercluster can be a strong fit for Newfoundland and Labrador businesses aiming to grow through innovation. Exploring the program in more detail can help determine how participation could support your next stage of growth.
