Crédit Maritime Grand Ouest has launched the 7th edition of the Ocean Innovation Trophies, a national competition that supports innovative projects working toward ocean preservation and a sustainable blue economy. Labeled “La Mer en Commun” for 2025, this initiative is open to start-ups, companies, and research centers involved in maritime innovation.
Five winners will be chosen — four by a jury of leading maritime experts, and one by public vote as the “Public Favorite.” The jury includes key organizations like the French Maritime Cluster, Ministry of the Sea, IFREMER, Respect Ocean, and more. Projects will be judged based on innovation, economic potential, and environmental impact.
Winners will gain major visibility and connect with important players in the maritime sector.
Applications are open from April 1 to May 15, 2025
Apply via the Blue Bank website.
