We believe water abundance is possible

At Ocean Oasis, we get frustrated at seeing increased headlines on water scarcity and droughts. Split between Norway and the Canary Islands in Spain, we see the ocean through the lens of abundance. It holds one of the answers to solving water challenges. What if we could reimagine desalination to unlock abundant, chemical-free, cheap and renewably powered water production? This purpose powers our team forwards everyday to build, refine and eventually scale our sustainable desalination innovation.

About the Ocean Oasis team

The Ocean Oasis team is passionate about delivering sustainable desalination. Combining Norwegian oil & gas experience from the past with a vision towards water abundance in the future, we are building out our beachhead market with a desalination project in the Canary Islands. From inventors to business and finance leaders, from environmental engineers to hydrodynamics specialists and mechanics, we believe it requires multiple people and skillsets to build and scale an innovation. Our team is uniting the best hearts and minds to rethink desalination.
