The world is in an AI super-cycle.
Models are scaling. Compute is concentrating. Data is becoming the real bottleneck.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH
Most of the planet's most important system — the ocean — remains largely unobserved, under-instrumented, and data-poor.
70%
of our planet has barely any data
As AI reshapes finance, defence, healthcare and cities, the next frontier isn't more screens — it's bringing intelligence to the physical world.

WHAT IS CERULEAN
A bi-annual gathering focused on AI, robotics, and data infrastructure for the ocean
Built for real conditions. At scale. Where founders, investors, operators, and researchers come together to ask harder questions.
Close the Ocean Data Gap
70% of the planet is ocean, yet we have more data on the surface of Mars. Cerulean tackles the most urgent data infrastructure challenge on Earth.
Sensors to Intelligence
Turning raw ocean sensors into decision-grade intelligence that governments, ports, and energy companies can act on in real time.
Robotic Systems at Scale
Building autonomous systems that survive salt, storms, and time. Hardware that works in the harshest environment on the planet.
Datasets That Matter
Creating datasets that actually matter for climate modelling, global trade, maritime security, and environmental compliance.
WHO ATTENDS
The Room Matters
Cerulean brings together the people shaping the future of ocean intelligence — from deep-tech founders to the institutions deploying at scale.
Founders
Building the next wave of ocean-tech ventures — from autonomous vessels to subsea sensing platforms.
Investors
Climate and deep-tech VCs looking to back transformative ocean intelligence infrastructure.
Operators
Port authorities, offshore energy firms, insurers, and defence organisations deploying maritime tech at scale.
Researchers
Marine scientists, oceanographers, and AI researchers pushing the boundary of what we know about the deep.
ON THE DAY
One Day. Three Formats.
Cerulean II runs from 9AM to 4PM — an intense, curated day designed to spark partnerships and surface the boldest ideas in ocean intelligence.
Keynotes
Two headline talks from leaders defining the frontier of ocean AI — from autonomous fleets to planetary-scale sensing networks.
Explosive Panels
No soft questions. Real debates between operators, founders, and investors on the hardest problems in maritime technology.
Terrific Pitches
The most promising ocean-tech startups pitch to a room of investors, enterprise buyers, and government decision-makers.
