Ocean Science & Technology

This week, we’re celebrating our one year anniversary! OST launched last year with a clear mission: to connect leading marine technology providers with ready-to-purchase buyers across the global ocean science community. Today, we're celebrating not just our growth, but our emergence as the go-to product sourcing platform for ocean technology. From underwater laser scanning to sonar and underwater communications, we now represent a broad spectrum of technologies used throughout ocean science and marine engineering. And oceanographers, researchers, engineers, and marine scientists are actively searching OST for technical solutions to address their immediate program needs and challenges. The team has worked incredibly hard to help make this happen and we've had some great feedback about the work we've done so far. Here are just some of our stand-out achievements in numbers: 📈 Visitors to the platform have grown month-on-month - we now see 10,000+ visitors using the site every month 👥 We’ve built a community of 30,000+ (and still growing rapidly!) industry professionals across our social media channels 👨💻 We’re now showcasing solutions for more than 50 industry-leading organizations to provide them with a direct connection to in-market buyers 🤝 We’ve generated over 11,000 opportunities for our clients Of course none of this would be possible without the dedication of our incredible team and the trust and support of our valued clients. A huge thanks to you all.
