TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP Supercluster Objective Enable future ocean economic developments Advance the sustainability, operational capability and connectivity of assets in marine environments Business Objectives Monitor, protect and sustain ocean resources Improve access, timeliness and quality of ocean ecosystem data Safe and cost-effective remote operations in marine environments Enhance the operational performance of marine assets Efficient transmission of high-resolution data Enabling Business Objectives Real-time data analysis and integration Enhanced met-ocean prediction and risk characterization Advanced digital operations
CLUSTER BUILDING INNOVATION CAPACITY + ENTREPRENEURIAL CAPACITY Open call innovation projects Talent attraction & development International networks/ cluster linkages Branding and promotion Cluster events and technology forums Supplier development Technology brokerage Incubation, acceleration, mentorship
THE SUPERCLUSTER COLLABORATION IS BASED ON: Shared interest in technology-driven solutions that enhance the ability of Canada s ocean-based companies to operate sustainably and profitably. Belief that success requires a deliberate cluster-building strategy to drive innovation more collaboratively.
WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESS?
THE DIGITAL OCEAN ECONOMY DIGITALIZED ASSETS Optimized marine operations Remote intervention & control Predictive maintenance & repair Automation, robotics & AI Connected workers & wearables DIGITAL OCEAN Integrated environmental monitoring Biotechnology & environmental genomics High fidelity/high reliability sensors Subsea wireless communications Autonomous mobile platforms In-situ power DIGITAL WORLD Supply chain integration and resource sharing Real time supply/demand balancing Smart contracts Additive manufacturing DIGITAL ENTERPRISE Remote operations control centre Data management and fusion Analytics and modeling Cognitive computing Visualization and simulation
OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS The large scale leveraging of this opportunity will rapidly drive incremental activity o Federal investment and corporate co-investment o NRC and other aligned services Improved insight and access to large ocean value chains Support for supplier development Collaboration opportunities Support for ocean start-ups Low-carbon advantage, reducing environmental impacts
WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CANADA? The Ocean Supercluster will build Canada s ocean economy into one of the most significant and sustainable value-creating segments in the national economy.
OUR OPPORTUNITY Canada has a vast ocean resource and an existing world-class ocean cluster but is getting comparatively less economic benefit from the ocean economy than other nations. THE OCEAN ECONOMY 2.5% OF GDP 1.8% OF GDP 0.7% OF GDP
NORWAY S OCEAN CLUSTERS Norway is: 0.3% of world economy 6% of world ocean economy GDP per capita: USD $71,000
