A look back at a year of collaboration between companies and scientists for the ocean
In 2024, we led SOS – Sharing Ocean Science. This ambitious project brought together scientists, businesses and NGOs around an ambitious mission: to work together to devise sustainable solutions to protect the ocean.
📌 Why this project?
The ocean, essential to our survival, is under serious threat from our activities: pollution, overfishing, global warming, etc. We are convinced that effective cooperation between the economic and scientific worlds is key to changing the game, and the world of science has a major role to play in transforming our models towards sustainable practices.
An unprecedented partnership and concrete advances
Over the course of several stages, we have brought our consortium together in each of our countries, to draw inspiration from our respective practices and work in collective intelligence ⤵️
