Bringing together entrepreneurs and environmental action groups, UpLink’s Ocean Solutions Sprint 2 is calling for ideas to be submitted to its UpLink platform that can accelerate progress towards SDG 14: Life Below Water. The projects considered to have the highest potential will then be connected to organizations who can help the project owners develop and scale them. These include a mix of businesses, NGOs, investors and government representatives.
From UpLink’s first Ocean Sprint, announced at Davos 2020, three winning projects were chosen from more than 50 submissions. They included an Oman-based online platform for reselling empty shipping container space; a waste management company from Myanmar; and a seaweed farming company. UpLink has also formed an Ocean Cohort of 12 innovations tackling the biggest challenges facing our seas.
