The Launch - Marine Institute

The Launch is a state-of-the-art marine living lab operated by the Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland in Holyrood, Newfoundland and Labrador. Designed to support ocean innovation, research, and industry collaboration, The Launch provides a real-world environment where students, researchers, and industry partners can test and develop technologies for use in harsh, cold-ocean conditions.

As part of Memorial University’s broader ocean research and innovation ecosystem, The Launch strengthens Memorial’s leadership in ocean technology, offshore safety and offshore safety research, autonomous marine systems, and applied ocean research. The facility supports experiential learning for Marine Institute students while also serving as a collaborative hub for industry, government and research partners working in Canada’s growing blue economy.
