A business hub for the marine sector has been pitched as an anchor property for an under-used part of downtown, to be the launch point for a new innovation district. The Ocean Futures Innovation Hub would allow marine companies to share resources, provide mentorship to marine start-ups and act as an incubator for growth, according to proponents of the project. The project is a partnership between the City of Victoria, South Island Prosperity Partnership and marine sector companies, which have issued a request for proposals on the development of the plan.
