Your institution. Your ecosystem. Connected globally.
Start by establishing your university, faculty, technopark or incubator ecosystem in MarineWorld. Bring eligible AI-Native Companies into that ecosystem, share it globally through direct URLs and use the platform for real industry connections and business activity.

DEFINED INDUSTRY SCOPE
Maritime industry. AI-Native Techno-Industries. Within MarineWorld’s Sector Cities.
This programme is for relevant faculties, research and entrepreneurship centres, technoparks and incubators working—or preparing to work—in maritime activities and AI-Native Techno-Industries covered by MarineWorld’s Sector Cities.
Both the institutional ecosystem and every participating AI-Native Company must fit that scope. Ecosystems and companies for activities outside it cannot be established through this programme. It is not a general-purpose university or startup platform for unrelated industries.
TWO INSTITUTIONAL PATHS / ONE ECOSYSTEM-FIRST MODEL
Choose the structure that fits your institution.
01 / UNIVERSITY & FACULTY ECOSYSTEM
Connect education and expertise to industry activity.
A relevant university faculty, research centre or entrepreneurship unit first establishes its institutional ecosystem. It then connects eligible final-year student teams, graduates and ventures through their own AI-Native Companies.
Give eligible ventures a shared institutional context and direct business visibility.
Help teams present sector-relevant products, technical expertise and services.
Connect education and entrepreneurship activity with maritime firms.
02 / TECHNOPARK & INCUBATION ECOSYSTEM
Bring your venture portfolio into the sector network.
A technopark, incubator, accelerator or venture-development programme first establishes its own ecosystem. Eligible resident companies and venture teams then establish or connect their AI-Native Companies within it.
Present a connected portfolio of companies and their offerings.
Support market entry and direct engagement with sector customers.
Develop the ecosystem as participating ventures publish and grow.
THE VALUE / YOUR ECOSYSTEM AS A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
One ecosystem URL. Independent company URLs. A connected global presence.
Once published, your institutional ecosystem can be shared immediately through its direct URL. Each participating AI-Native Company also has its own destination for its current published identity, capabilities, products, services and contact routes.
Share the ecosystem as a whole, an individual company or a specific offering. Recipients reach the relevant published business context directly. As information is maintained on the platform, those destinations remain connected to the source—not a static PDF or a separate directory copy.
For the institution
Use your own ecosystem as an active industry-facing presence: introduce the participating ventures, connect their offerings and develop relationships with relevant firms internationally.
For each AI-Native Company
Use the normal company path and MarineWorld’s company capabilities: Company Studio, approved knowledge, products and services, AI assistance, showrooms and direct customer communication, under the applicable service terms.
For your programme team
Bring eligible ventures together in one connected ecosystem while each company maintains its own business information and customer relationships.
For industry firms
Explore relevant venture expertise and offerings at their source URLs, then contact the company directly to discuss technical fit, services or commercial requirements.
Institutional participation does not depend on receiving Launch Credits. Eligible ventures can also establish their AI-Native Companies through the standard company setup and applicable plans. Public URLs provide direct access to published information; they do not promise automatic search ranking, customers or private-data access.
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Marine engineering graduates. ENGINEERING.CITY. Real business intent.
01 / DEVELOP
Define a service or product
A graduate team develops a clear marine engineering service or product proposal with its institution’s programme support.
02 / ESTABLISH
Create its AI-Native Company
After the institution establishes its ecosystem, an eligible team creates its AI-Native Company in ENGINEERING.CITY and connects it to that ecosystem. It may use agreed Launch Credits or the standard company setup route.
03 / CONNECT
Work towards its first customer
The team presents its offering, connects with relevant firms and develops inquiries and commercial relationships through MarineWorld.
Illustrative journey. Platform participation does not guarantee customers, employment, funding or income. An AI-Native Company is a digital business presence; legal incorporation and any professional permissions are separate.
EDUCATION & STARTUP SUPPORT
AI-Native Company Launch Credits.
After establishing their institutional ecosystem, participating institutions can agree a support programme for selected AI-Native Companies within it: education and company-launch support, with a limited allocation of service-use credits. These credits support the platform services defined for the programme; they are not a cash payment or a financial loan.
Agree the allocation before launch
Define team eligibility, the selection process, the number of supported ventures, credit value or quantity, covered services and the usage period.
Make the next stage clear
Confirm what happens when credits expire or are used, which services remain available and what charges or plans would apply afterwards. No fixed allocation is promised by this invitation.
HOW THE INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMME WORKS
Establish the ecosystem first. Then launch and support its companies.
01
Establish the institutional ecosystem
Choose the university/faculty or technopark/incubation path. Define the institutional lead, relevant MarineWorld Sector Cities and eligible activity scope.
02
Connect eligible AI-Native Companies
Bring relevant existing ventures or selected student and graduate teams into the ecosystem through their own company presences, using the standard setup route where appropriate.
03
Agree additional venture support
For selected companies within the ecosystem, define education support and any limited Launch Credit allocation. Confirm eligibility, coverage, duration and later charges.
04
Activate and share globally
Publish and share the ecosystem, company and offering URLs. Use MarineWorld’s relevant services to develop industry connections and direct commercial activity.
Programme funding, institutional services and participation terms are agreed separately. No equity share, student sales obligation or institutional commission is assumed.
YOUR INSTITUTION / YOUR VENTURE ECOSYSTEM
Start with your institutional ecosystem.
Choose your institutional path and identify the relevant MarineWorld Sector Cities. Tell us which companies or teams you intend to connect and whether you would also like venture support.
This form prepares an application email to contact@marineworld.city. Review and send it in your email application. It does not automatically appoint a partner.
CLEAR PROGRAMME BOUNDARIES
Clear answers for institutions.
Must the institution create its ecosystem first?
Yes. Establish the institutional ecosystem first, then create or connect eligible AI-Native Companies within it. Additional education and Launch Credit support can then be agreed for selected participating companies.
Can we participate without Launch Credits?
Yes. Support is an additional programme, not the only entry route. Eligible companies can use standard AI-Native Company setup and applicable plans, connect to your ecosystem and use the relevant MarineWorld services.
Can we include companies from unrelated industries?
No. The ecosystem and its participating companies must operate, or be preparing to operate, in the maritime and AI-Native Techno-Industries activities covered by MarineWorld’s Sector Cities. General businesses outside this scope are not eligible through this programme.
Can we share the whole ecosystem internationally?
Yes. Once published, the institutional ecosystem has a direct shareable URL. Participating companies and their offerings also retain their own direct URLs, allowing you to introduce the full ecosystem or a specific business destination using its current published information.
Are all services free through the programme?
No. Standard company and ecosystem services follow their applicable plans and terms. Any support allocation must specify the covered services, usage limits, duration and charges after the support ends.
Is this a sales partnership or a country operating license?
No. This is an institutional venture-development programme. An institution seeking Company Sales Partnership or Country Sector City operating rights can apply separately through the partner page.
Who chooses the supported ventures?
The institution follows the selection process agreed for its programme. Eligibility, cohort and support allocation must be defined before launch.
Does the programme provide a registered legal company?
No. It supports an AI-Native Company presence on MarineWorld. Legal incorporation, tax obligations and professional licensing remain separate.
Are the credits or places unlimited?
No. Support is limited to the agreed allocation and eligibility conditions. The application is an expression of institutional interest, not a credit award.
