About the SubOptic Foundation

The SubOptic Foundation, established in January 2021, is the philanthropic arm of the SubOptic Association and focuses its efforts on education & research.

The Foundation’s educational programs, including more than ten local language symposia across the globe, introduce university and maritime academy students to the technology and business of submarine cables and support development of the future subsea workforce. The Foundation’s research programs are focused in areas where broad research and cooperative data-sharing benefit the industry as a whole, including sustainability and resilience.

The Foundation’s success in all of its programs is achieved through collaboration amongst SubOptic member volunteers from an array of companies who serve the submarine cable industry.
