Growing Canada's Ocean Technology Industry

OTAC was created by the regional Ocean Technology Associations in Canada to help grow the economic capacity of Canada’s Ocean Technology sector for the benefit of sector companies and affiliated organizations.


OTAC was formed to…

Create a common national voice for the ocean tech sector


Create a Team Canada brand for the sector and broaden our market intelligence collection network


Create a mechanism for accessing funding for export development programs on a national level to augment regional programs


Facilitate economic growth of the ocean tech sector in Canada


Promote Canadian ocean technologies internationally


Create a mechanism for regions of the country not covered by regional associations to participate in an association


Encourage unconsolidated regions to incorporate into regional associations


Guiding Principles

1

Each regional association would nominate one member to the OTAC board

2

The OTAC Board would select one Board member to represent the unconsolidated regions

3

Members of a signed regional association would be recognized as members of OTAC and not be charged membership fees by OTAC

4

OTAC may elect to have membership fees for organizations that are not members of regional associations, but they would be encouraged to join their regional associations
