UNH Launches Ocean Innovation Startup Residency Program
UNH has launched the Ocean Innovation Startup Residency program, a founder-centered, in-person program designed for early-stage startups working at the intersection of technology and the ocean. Over nine months, resident companies gain access to UNH's marine science expertise, select testing facilities, industry network, and hands-on mentorship — all at no cost and with no equity taken. The first program of its kind in New Hampshire, the Ocean Innovation Startup Residency leverages UNH’s world-class marine assets, Sea Grant status, longstanding partnerships with NOAA, and regional industry network to support early-stage ocean and marine technology startups. Application deadline for the nine-month residency is Jan. 15, 2027; the residency runs from April 1, 2027 - December 17, 2027.
