The Ocean Technology Council of Nova Scotia’s annual H2O Conference will be held this year from June 13 to 16 at the Halifax Convention Centre, with several attractions relevant to the startup community.
The event will include a panel on skilled workforce issues June 15 at 10:00 a.m.; a panel about the intersection of the aerospace and bluetech industries featuring such startups as Maritime Launch Services and Galaxia Mission Systems at 3:45 p.m. the same day; and the Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship’s demo day at 10:00 a.m. on June 16.
