About your organization / profile

OHA is a non-profit ocean-impact catalyst initiative, supporting ocean-impact start-ups through acceleration programs and leading a local ocean-minded ecosystem. Our mission is to inspire and support innovative impact start-ups and nurture an environmentally conscious and profitable economy that would effectively mitigate the oceans' overexploitation, pollution as well as the effects of global warming on the oceans. We are based in Cape Town, at virtually the crossroad of three oceans and home to a strong scientific (international standard marine sciences), technical (one of the largest tech hub in Africa) and business skills (some of the best universities on the continent) ecosystem.

OceanHub Africa believes in the great - and untapped - potential of Africa's blue economy and wish to increase the development and adoption of new sustainable technologies to place the continent at the forefront of a decidedly more sustainable ocean economy. Leveraging a qualified network of stakeholders (research centers & universities, corporations, small businesses, foundations, investors, authorities, etc.) and facilitators, the accelerator provides to the start-ups multiple services seeking out sustainable pathways to stable profits (ROIs) and avenues for scalable growth throughout Africa and overseas.  

Making our oceans blue again focusing on SDG14 (oceans), 2 (hunger), 6 (water), 7 (energy), 9 (infrastructure), 11 (smart cities), 12 (consumption), 13 (climate), & 17 (partnerships).
