In the #18 episode the Founder and Executive Director of Noventus Foundation, Koen Vriesacker, sails close to the winds of ocean collaboration with Jan Maisenbacher 🌊. Koen is an belgian-based expert inter-organizational in networks who's spent 16 years mastering the art of wicked collaboration.

It is a discussion on the relevance of interorganisational collaboration, and why this is needed to move forward in our current world. The dialogue emphasizes the need for structured approaches to foster trust and engagement among stakeholders, as well as the role of innovative solutions in addressing complex issues like deep sea mining.

Why this episode matters for ocean regeneration:⛵ No mess, no magic – True collaboration requires friction, diversity, and courage to engage unlikely allies (yes, including the “evil other side” 🏢)⛵ Trust the structure, not just the people – Trustworthy frameworks outlast individual relationships and create long-term collaborative success⛵ The Mediterranean merchant approach – Selective connections between diverse knowledge bubbles drive innovation faster than full connectivity

What ocean changemakers need to unlearn:⛵ Collaboration ≠ working only with people like us⛵ We can’t skip steps on the collaboration staircase (from competition → coexistence → communication → coordination)⛵ Measuring collaboration health is as crucial as measuring environmental impact

The path forward for 2030:⛵Bottom-up, on-site multi-stakeholder collaborations (fishermen + NGOs + tourism + business)⛵Small teams of 10 trusted bridge-builders tackling challenges like deep sea mining⛵Relational structures over transactional ones—because wicked problems need adaptive frameworks, not fixed answers

In this episode of Ocean Collaborations, Jan Maisenbacher speaks with Nicole Loeser about transdisciplinary collaboration and discover how it fuels blue transformation.

Nicole Loeser is co-founder of the Institute for Art and Innovation in Berlin and director of the Futuring Alliance. With more than 20 years of experience leading 350+ transdisciplinary projects, Nicole brings a rare synthesis of art, circular economy, and systemic foresight into the ocean space.

💡 If you have ever wondered how to integrate creativity, foresight, and systemic strategy into your own practice for ocean regeneration, this a bit longer than usual episode is a lighthouse!

How do we reimagine our relationship with the ocean so that it is not only protected but regenerated — and how do we design the systems and collaborations that make this possible?

Tune in to be inspired by the power of working together across disciplines as our conversation weaves through:

* Why trust is the ultimate enabler of circular and regenerative economies.

* The role of youth as co-leaders in shaping futures that are both hopeful and actionable.

* How art-based foresight methods like the Art for Futures Lab and Ocean Future Lab help us imagine – and prototype – systemic solutions.

* The call for a “Ministry for the Future for the Ocean”: a polycentric, collaborative hub where science, indigenous knowledge, and innovation meet.

Nicole reminds us that transformation is not only technical, but cultural and civic. That it begins with creating spaces of agency where diverse voices come together — often as “unlikely allies” — to co-design futures within planetary boundaries.

Nicole’s work is a living example of how bold visions can be translated into collaborative infrastructures that build resilience for people and planet alike.
