Seed Fund
Supporting innovative ocean-related projects
The Seed Fund offers expertise and financial support for ocean-related projects with high innovation potential. The program aims to advance cutting-edge ideas in research, commercial, policy, and social spheres. By catalyzing innovative research and outcomes, the Seed Fund seeks to create opportunities for larger-scale research, policy initiatives, and commercial investments.
Since 2018, more than 150 projects have been awarded funding.
In addition to funding, recipients of the Seed Fund will have additional pathways for innovation and commercialization by working with our partners.
For example, projects using or exploring artificial intelligence (AI) may have access to resources from DeepSense, including workshops for potential applicants and expertise for successful recipients.
Applications for the next round of Seed funding will open on August 27, 2024 and close on October 22, 2024.
