goodbag

Goodbag is a smart and reusable shopping bag that rewards customers for bringing their own bag and protecting the environment. With goodbag users can track their positive impact on the environment and plant trees, collect plastic waste out of the ocean or receive discounts as a reward every time they bring their own bag to a store. The bag connects contactless with the free goodbag app where users can track their impact in real-time and complete challenging challenges and earn cool achievements. The goodbag system is currently active in over 1,000 stores in Austria, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland and used by industry leaders like Europes largest Airport Heathrow in the United Kingdom or the Swiss retail chain Denner in over 800 of their stores. We offer our service to brands that are looking for innovative ways to communicate with potential customers while protecting the environment.

H2BlueDynamics

Our Game-Changing Project H2bluedynamics is a safe, simple, and cost-effective H2 fuel and propulsion system, which allows H2 propulsion for retrofits and newbuilding anywhere and anytime without the need of costly and dangerous H2 Logistics. The H2bluedynamics, will utilize ultra-low pressure at ambient operation temperature and controllable gas release storage fuel system. Due to the friendly characteristics, our system can be easily certified by Class societies and Flag administrations given that the IGF code still does not have provisions for H2 as marine fuel. In addition, the onboard H2 production is a cutting-edge feature of the Project, providing unlimited geographical operational possibilities regardless of the availability of H2 supply chain. A vessel will maintain the crucial H2 fuel capabilities such as large range and high service speed, but will be also able to refuel wherever there is access to the electricity grid. Introducing trailblazing innovations and revolutionizing New Business models, our Project will benefit H2 Economy substantially from the development of the first worldwide concept of Virtual Hydrogen Logistics.

Hailia Nordic Oy

At the heart of Hailia’s innovation is an award-winning, patent-pending seafood technology, that enables upcycling of filleting sidestreams to food products with a unique cooked fish fillet-like texture, meeting modern demands for tasty, sustainable, versatile and easy-to-use food - without the need for additional fishing or farming. Hailia’s solution is tailored specifically for seafood processors doing fish filleting, offering a way to maximize yield, reduce waste, and increase profitability. Rather than selling sidestreams at low value, processors can now upcycle them internally into a broader product portfolio at various price points. The technology integrates easily into existing workflows, enhancing sustainability and CO₂ efficiency while significantly boosting margins across the board. With a state-of-the-art production facility in Karkkila, Finland, Hailia handles piloting, R&D, and industrial-scale production for its partners. The company launched its first salmonid product in September 2024, available in both consumer packaging for retail and large-scale B2B formats for food service, HoReCa, and the food industry. Since then, 7 new SKU's has been launched to the market and more to come. By addressing inefficiencies in seafood processing, Hailia offers a game-changing business solution tailored for processors. The solution supports food security, strengthens industry profitability, and reduces the environmental footprint of seafood production.

HARPOON elektronika d.o.o. / Wireless marine anchor chain counter

Our company deals with the development and service of electronic devices, so we used the experience and knowledge of the past years and developed exactly the kind of anchor chain counter that one would want to have on the vessel. Due to our own production of communication modules, we have a great advantage here, as we were able to fully adapt our device to the requirements of use. The solution is basically a BRI (Boat Remote) anchor chain counter and controller, which meets the expectations of even demanding sailors and is also much more cost effective than competition. With its help, anchoring without assistants is easy, as the anchor can be lowered from behind the helm and the vessel controlled at the same time. The length of the lowered chain is clearly displayed on the large display, so the anchor maneuver can be carried out without any problems. Even if we do not pay attention to the length of the lowered or raised chain, we will not be able to accidentally unscrew or wind the entire chain. A sound warns us of this, but since we usually miss it, we added an automatic stop before the end position, which stops the winch operation even if the button is held down. Pressing the button again will resume the operation of the windlass, and with this we were warned that the final position is close and that we must be careful that the anchor does not swing and hit the side of the vessel. After successful sales in regional market we have decided that we want to enter the global market.
