  Into the Blue: Innovating for our Marine Future

  
  

  NUI Galway

  
  

  The theme of this year’s annual Our Ocean Wealth conference is Into the Blue – Innovating for our Marine Future and key speakers include Vice Admiral Mark Mellett, head of the Irish Defence Forces, European Commission DG Research Head of Marine Resources Sigi Gruber, Gerald Fleming of Met Eireann, Craig McLean, US National Ocean & Atmospheric Administration and Linda Rosborough of Marine Scotland.

  The Our Ocean Wealth conference will bring international and national industry leaders, policy makers, researchers and maritime entrepreneurs together to discuss marine innovation, marine spatial planning, healthy ocean ecosystems and sustainability.

  The new Minister for Agriculture, Food and Marine Micheal Creed will give his first formal address on the marine economy at the conference. Delegates will also hear from innovative Irish companies such as OpenHydro Group Ltd, which has just installed its second tidal turbine off the north west coast of France due to connect to the grid this summer, in what will be a world first for the tidal energy industry.
