Make It Happen!

Sailowtech’s actions would not be possible without our partners, who are an integral part of the association’s mission and are playing an active role in the recognition of global ocean issues by joining forces with us.

Sailowtech is currently seeking financial and material partnerships.

Does our project make sense to you, and do you think your company also wants to make the Ocean’s voice heard?
