OceanHub Africa is launching the first cohort of its six-month acceleration program to support six of South-Africa’s most promising impact for profit startups focused on preserving and restoring the health of the ocean.
The accelerator is on a mission to support ocean-minded start-ups with the express aim of nurturing an environmentally conscious and profitable economy that effectively mitigates the effects of global warming as well as the over-exploitation and pollution of the oceans.

The deadline is March 16th and the acceleration will start on April 20th.
