Through the creation of multiple Ocean Surface Centres and in collaboration with our partners, we aspire to facilitate technological advancements, conservation efforts, and research initiatives that span across our venues.
future proof
At the heart of our venues lies digital innovation, adaptability, and customizable displays. This ensures that, both in content and technology, we remain at the forefront of what is achievable, pioneering new possibilities.
With our dedicated team, we aim to lead in various ocean-based fields through our venues.
We are exploring and discussing further OSC venues and locations both in the UK and abroad.
