Reimagine. Renew. Reignite.
At a pivotal moment for ocean energy, IPF 2026 challenges the industry to reimagine its future, renew its foundation, and reignite momentum. The IPF Energy at Sea agenda dives deep into large-scale ocean energy projects and emerging ocean tech—wave, tidal, aquatic solar, marine carbon removal, and more—anchored by ports, vessels, grid, and transmission. Hear from global leaders, join tactical discussions, and help chart a bold, resilient path for America’s ocean economy.
Premier Tim Houston to Keynote 2026 IPF
Oceantic Network is proud to welcome Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston as a keynote speaker at the 2026 IPF. With Canada’s new offshore energy regulator in place, Nova Scotia is moving fast—targeting a 5 GW offshore wind auction by 2030 and charting a path toward up to 40 GW of reliable clean power.
“I look forward to pitching our province at one of the preeminent offshore renewables’ conferences in North America. Our target of 5 GW by 2030 is ambitious, but achievable—and we know that strong partnerships with U.S. companies and stakeholders will be key to our success.”
