Canada's Ocean Supercluster
Based in Atlantic Canada, the Ocean Supercluster will tap the combined strengths of the industries operating in Canada's oceans, including marine renewable energy, fisheries, aquaculture, oil and gas, defence, shipbuilding, transportation and ocean technology. By harnessing emerging technologies, this Supercluster will digitize and optimize marine operations, maximize sustainable approaches to resources, and increase safety for those operating in marine environments.
Regional concentration: Atlantic Canada
Technology focus: Digital sensors and monitoring, autonomous marine vehicles, energy generation, automation, marine biotechnology and marine engineering technologies
Expected economic impact
| GDP impact over 10 years (in billions) | Job creation over 10 years |
|---|---|
| More than $14 billion | More than 3,000 jobs |
Program Streams:
- Ocean Sensing and Characterization — Collaborative R&D projects to develop improved, reliable and scalable technologies for short-term/long-range ocean ecosystem
- Operational Intelligence — Develop monitoring observatories with real-time data integration
- Data Analysis and Visualization — Develop and advance digital twin concepts for use across ocean industries; and develop intelligent, highly automated technology in harvesting.
- Innovation Ecosystem — Support projects that will foster partnerships and facilitate interactions
