IOSTIA Announces Founding Members at Oceanology International
The International Ocean Science and Technology Industry Association (IOSTIA) announced its ‘founding members’ at Oceanology International 2018 (Oi18). The members will help chart the course of this new marine technology industry association.
Filling a niche in the oceans science and technology space, the 12 companies and an experienced team of association management professionals have come together as a new international industry association, based in Washington, DC, USA, to provide programmes, services, benefits and a unified voice on Capitol Hill and in the US regulatory agencies for companies that sustainably and commercially utilise the oceans.
“What is significant about our founding members is that they span the spectrum to include a global leader in ocean technology, along with emerging innovators – and in the context of IOSTIA, they will collaborate together on business and the public policy issues of the day,” commented Richard Lawson, president of IOSTIA.
The 12 founding members of IOSTIA are:
- 3D at Depth
- Anekonnect
- Aquatica Submarines
- Blue Robotics
- eTrac
- Exocetus Autonomous Systems
- Kongsberg Underwater Technology
- RJE International
- Sidus Solutions
- PREVCO Subsea Housings
- UCAR (University Corporation for Atmospheric Research)
- X994
What is significant about the founding members is that they span the spectrum to include a global giant in ocean technology, along with smaller, nimble marine science companies – and in the context of IOSTIA, they will collaborate together on business and the public policy issues of the day.
