Dedicated to the future of our oceans

A global community for ocean innovation

During One Ocean Week 2023 in Bergen, Farvatn and Katapult Ocean launched the Sustainable Ocean Solutions Community, a global network uniting science, industry, technology, policy, and investment to accelerate ocean sustainability. In 2025, we will bring this vision to San Francisco and set sail to shape the next wave of solutions.

Farvatn: A century of exploration, A future of impact

For over 100 years, Farvatn has navigated uncharted waters—first in shipping, now in strategic investments driving sustainability and innovation. As the initiator of the Sustainable Ocean Solutions Community, Farvatn continues to lead through investments in ocean sustainability, fostering global collaboration and catalyzing transformative change.

It all starts with you

Never before have we combined the most advanced marine science researchers with the most experienced and motivated investors around the common goal of developing sustainable, ethical, and transformative ocean solutions.

The second SOS Summit in San Francisco will bring together influential leaders from various sectors to discuss the evolving landscape of sustainable technologies and solutions for the ocean. These solutions include renewable offshore energy, carbon capture and storage, and new sustainable materials derived from the ocean. The goal of SOS Summit is to utilize venture capital to support science-based entrepreneurial insights and policies that promote ocean conservation and sustainable ocean utilization. By fostering collaboration among thought leaders, the summit aims to facilitate partnerships enabling these innovative solutions to flourish.

Following the SOS Summit 2025, we invite you and fellow global changemakers to embark on a transformational voyage from San Francisco to San Diego aboard the tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl. This unique experience fosters collaboration and innovation for a thriving ocean. As a crew member, you'll connect with like-minded individuals, learn valuable skills, challenge norms, and develop solutions for transformative change.
