How ocean tech benefits from design methods?

Client: Our Ocean Alliance / UN Our Ocean conference

Context

SOA is a non-profit organization that focuses on engaging young leaders and innovators in the mission to promote ocean health and sustainability. The organization has been particularly active in mobilizing youth to address global ocean challenges.

What we did

The Sustainable Oceans Alliance hosts an annual Ocean Solutions Summit, bringing together young leaders, policymakers, scientists, and entrepreneurs to discuss and develop solutions for ocean sustainability challenges. This summit serves as a platform for collaboration and idea-sharing. Design for sustainability methods can play a crucial role in addressing ocean issues by focusing on solutions that mitigate environmental impact, promote conservation, and raise awareness.

Impact

Facilitating design workshops was an effective way to gather insights, ideas, and solutions from diverse perspectives. By conducting collaborative sessions, the collective creativity of the SOA team and its stakeholders was harnessed to address specific challenges or plan initiatives more effectively.
