COP31: NOC Innovations heads to global climate change summit

For NOC Innovations, the summit provides an opportunity to demonstrate how collaboration between science and industry can turn world-leading ocean research into practical solutions with real-world impact. From advancing ocean observations to supporting climate adaptation and ocean sustainability, partnerships are essential to accelerating progress and delivering a sustainable blue economy.

Building a Blueprint for Future Ocean Observations

On Monday 16 November, Phil Bishop, Head of Growth & Delivery at NOC Innovations, will moderate a panel discussion at the Ocean Pavilion exploring how industry and research organisations can work together to expand ocean observing capabilities and deliver impact at scale. Using the BORA Blue Ocean Research Alliance® as a case study, the discussion will examine how industry infrastructure, operational expertise and data can complement traditional research approaches to improve our understanding of the ocean and support climate action.
