Canada is an ocean nation-with the world’s longest coastline and a thriving ocean technology sector. From coast to coast to coast, Canadian ocean tech companies are innovating, developing forward-thinking solutions and drawing investors from around the globe.
This video explores Canada’s strengths in ocean technologies. Meet Kraken Robotics Systems and Moog Focal, two east coast companies that showcase how Canadian science and technology is disrupting underwater spaces both at home and around the world.
Find out about Kraken’s Katfish, one of its key innovations, that collects high resolution data and seabed imagery in depths of up to 300 metres. Among its many uses, navies and defence operators are using this sonar to conduct minesweeping operations.
Next door in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Moog Focal Technologies is developing ocean tech that allows the continuous transmission of data across a rotary interface. Their innovations are used in the offshore oil and gas, oceanographic, seismic and maritime industries-making them safer and more efficient.
Ocean tech has seen significant growth in Canada. The sector now supports 300,000 jobs and is worth $34 billion dollars to the Canadian economy each year. Initiatives like Canada’s Ocean Supercluster, which supports more than 100 innovative oceans solutions, helps bring new products to the market by investing in industry-led projects.
