BACKGROUND:

Under the auspices of the Oceans Holyrood Initiative, the Town of Holyrood is developing an emerging community of practice in ocean technology, in partnership with Memorial University’s Marine Institute.

Current and emerging opportunities in ocean technology and marine-related industries, particularly in relation to cold ocean research, provide a rationale for consideration of an ocean technology-focused business park (OBP) in Holyrood at this time.

Independent Consultants Group (ICG) Limited has been contracted to prepare a feasibility assessment for the proposed ocean business park. Representatives of ICG will facilitate the discussion – we will begin with a meet and greet from 8:30 until 9:00 and the session will, get underway at 9:00 am.
