OceanHub Africa is a pan-African ocean-impact catalyst dedicated to accelerating innovation and entrepreneurship within the blue economy. Headquartered in Cape Town and operating across the continent, the organisation supports, connects, and invests in startups and initiatives that address critical ocean challenges, including climate change, marine pollution, and sustainable resource management.

Through its flagship acceleration programme, the organisation provides tailored business support, mentorship, and access to funding, helping early-stage ventures scale their impact and achieve market readiness.
Beyond venture support, OceanHub Africa actively contributes to shaping Africa’s ocean innovation ecosystem through thought leadership, partnerships, and convening platforms such as the Ocean Innovation Africa summit. Its work is driven by a vision to unlock the potential of a sustainable and inclusive blue economy, positioning entrepreneurship as a key lever for ocean regeneration and socio-economic development across the continent.
