ANNOUNCING: THE LAUNCH OF THE OCEAN IMPACT ACCELERATOR PROGRAM

As we commence 2022 we’ve been proudly reflecting on OIO’s achievements since opening the organisation almost two years ago. Despite the ongoing challenges presented by the pandemic we have stayed true to our course and made significant progress towards our bold goals. 

We are immensely proud of the results of The Ocean Impact Pitchfest; Ocean Impact Ideation and HP Generation Impact Incubator programs and will continue (and expand) these programs in the future. These programs are powerful in identifying, promoting, supporting and rewarding game-changing startups and founders with the passion and potential to transform ocean health. OIO exists to help people start, grow and invest in businesses that positively impact the ocean - our programs enable us to do this. 

It’s with great excitement that we announce the BIG news for 2022 -  the launch of the Ocean Impact Accelerator Program - OIO’s flagship new program to find, develop and accelerate the most impactful new companies improving ocean health.

This is a milestone moment for OIO and the chance many startups have been waiting for to work closely with OIO to access the knowledge, skills, partners and resources to dramatically accelerate their business and their ‘ocean impact’.

We are pleased to announce that expressions of interest for the Ocean Impact Accelerator Program are NOW OPEN with formal applications to open in late January 2022. Register your interest here. 

The 7-month virtual program will commence in April 2022 and is open to startups across the Pacific Rim (Australia, Pacific, West Coast USA, SE Asia - locations based on conducive timezones for virtual sessions).

We are incredibly excited about this major evolution in our programs and can’t wait to meet the startups and founders passionate about joining with OIO to accelerate their ocean impact. 

We want to take this moment to sincerely thank you for your support and ongoing interest in our mission. We thoroughly look forward to sharing more on our progress and impact in the years to come. 

Wishing you all a very happy and impactful 2022.

Tim, Nick and the OIO Team
