At the forefront of building a thriving network, COVE has played a pivotal role in cultivating a robust cluster of companies and cultivating a premier startup environment. Through strategic initiatives, COVE facilitates invaluable networking opportunities, fosters connections, and leads discussions within the global ocean technology community. Moreover, COVE spearheads programs aimed at nurturing talent, expediting the release of ocean technology products, and bolstering the success of emerging ventures by startups, scaleups, and SMEs.
