Our Innovation Workshops provide a forum for tackling sustainability challenges that affect sailing, sport, events and ocean governance.

Created as a way of sharing best practice and advancing solutions, the sessions bring together an expert group around a specific topic. Through engaging virtual and in-person sessions the attendees help to create a roadmap for action that will drive change to help our ocean. Each group is specially selected to represent diverse viewpoints on the subject in order to find tangible solutions that work.

We have hosted Innovation Workshops on a range of topics, including Communicating Ocean Science With Impact, Sustainable Look & Overlay (more info) and Sustainable Boat Building (for more on this topic see here.)

The Innovation Workshops are run with 11th Hour Racing, the Race’s Founding Sustainability Partner and a Premier Partner.
