Ocean Connect Asia 2026

Tuesday 31st March & Wednesday 1st April 2026

Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore

Ocean Connect Asia presents a regional meeting point to bring together the converging worlds of autonomy, robotics and uncrewed based solutions for the ocean and coastal economies.

As the world’s fifth largest market the group of ASEAN countries look to technological and data-centric solutions to address key issues of security, resource management and climate induced changes. The complexity of the Southeast Asian coastal ecosystem demands a co-ordinated and science-based response from agencies overseeing the management of land and sea resources.

Co-located with Geo Connect Asia, the region’s leading geospatial and remote sensing event and Drones & Uncrewed Asia, Ocean Connect Asia 2026 will attract visitors from leading vertical markets, from offshore energy and subsea operators to government agencies and promoters of the wider blue economy.

Ocean Connect Asia comprises a trade show, conference and tech talk stages and will be held in Sands Expo and Convention Centre in the heart of Singapore.
