The Department of Industry, Energy and Technology is joining three companies from Newfoundland and Labrador to attend the OCEANS 2023 Gulf Coast Conference and Expo in Biloxi, Mississippi, United States from September 25 to 28.

The Canadian Pavilion will be led by OceansAdvance, the Newfoundland and Labrador-based industry cluster. Three Newfoundland and Labrador companies are attending as part of a total of 12 Canadian companies. The three Newfoundland and Labrador companies attending are eSonar, GRI Simulations, and Vanguard (RS Marine). Representatives from the Marine Institute and its newest facility, The Launch, will also be a part of the delegation. There will also be a number of startup companies attending the event.

Over 500 technical papers are to be presented at the conference and discussed, along with multiple opportunities for networking, training sessions, workshops and demonstrations. The department’s participation will help develop and support outbound trade activities, and will reaffirm its commitment to Newfoundland and Labrador’s ocean technology industry.

The conference brings together over 2,000 ocean industry experts, researchers, academia, students, vendors, suppliers, businesses and representatives of governments and militaries from around the world to discuss the latest in ocean technologies, research and development.
