Part of the Geomatics Atlantic Conference includes a tour of the Centre for Ocean Ventures & Entrepreneurship (COVE) Facility.

COVE is a collaborative facility for applied innovation in the ocean sector that brings together people, ideas, industry and research to help Atlantic Canada work in new ways. 

Located in what was once the Canadian Coast Guard facility on Halifax Harbour, this hub is home to local and global ocean technology businesses, post-secondary institutions, researchers, and marine-based and service businesses that support the ocean sector. The COVE site features extensive marine facilities with two large, deep-water piers, office space, an incubator and space for shops and labs.

The advances that are developed through COVE will have practical, commercial and revolutionary applications in ocean tech. There is a global need for ocean tech solutions. The impact of what happens at COVE has local, provincial, national and international significance.
