Oceanology International
Oi Exhibition and Conference
Oceans Advance, in partnership with ACOA, Atlantic partners, and ABCMI, is recruiting ocean tech companies to attend Oceanology International in London, UK and an exclusive networking event at Canada House.
Oi 2026 brings together 500+ exhibitors and links the following three key players in the industry: businesses, academics, and government. The event includes innovative live on-water demonstrations and interactive seminars looking to the future of the ocean tech industry. With over 8,000 attendees targeted for 2026, Oceanology International is a key event for those involved in exploring, monitoring, developing or protecting the world’s oceans, from seabed to surface and beyond.
Oceans Advance is the organizer of the Canada pavilion for Oi 2026 which takes place at ExCel London. The Canada pavilion will include 24 exhibitors, with companies from Atlantic Canada and across the country. Trade mission delegates (co-exhibitors and walkers) will be invited to an Ocean Technology event at the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom, at Canada House in Trafalgar Square on Monday, March 9, 2026 (daytime), hosted by the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service.
Delegates are also invited to a Canada networking reception during the show (hosted at the Canada Pavilion), on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, designed to attract attendees to visit and engage with companies in the Canada Pavilion. Co-exhibitors will also be invited to participate in an enhanced digital marketing campaign leading up to and during Oi 2026, designed to draw visitors to their booths at the show.
