Crusta Nova, an innovative company from Bavaria, that breeds saltwater shrimp in a land-based aquaculture recirculation system and is a trader of high-quality and sustainable seafood. In times of globalized supply chains, Crusta Nova sees itself as a pioneer of future-oriented, sustainable and transparent food production. As one of the few worldwide pioneers, the company has developed special know-how in the breeding of turnkey, land-based and site-independent aquacultures for saltwater shrimp. With the help of the state-of-the-art software-supported recirculation technology developed by Crusta Nova, it is possible to bring the sea to Bavaria and offer a shrimp farmed in Germany that meets the demands of modern consumers. The Bavarian shrimp is available in the best fish counters and top restaurants in Germany and Austria. Among gourmets, the Bavarian shrimp is considered the preferred choice due to its firm texture and sweet, nutty taste. Its sashimi quality convinces every gourmet and even allows raw consumption. The Bavarian shrimp is bred species-appropriate with low stocking densities and without antibiotics where it is consumed. Avoiding long transport routes, the shrimp are reared by hand and with great respect for the living creature, completely free of artificial additives and particularly high-quality food from sustainable sources. In the sustainable farm, the climate of the mangrove forests of South America, the natural habitat and home of the shrimp, is reproduced in a closed system in 8 breeding ponds. Fresh water consumption is minimized by 4 separate water circuits with their own, purely biological water treatment. At 29 degrees water temperature and 30 degrees air temperature, 30 tons of White Tiger Shrimp grow annually from the post larvae to market size. Furthermore, Crusta Nova operates a "House of Brands" B2B seafood platform and a B2C e-commerce portal with high quality and sustainable seafood and fish. The company stands for excellent quality and sustainable catching/breeding and has been able to establish itself as one of the leading suppliers of high quality seafood in the market in a short period of time. For the most part Crusta Nova is the exclusive distribution partner of worldwide suppliers for Germany and Austria. The suppliers are carefully selected. All of them have unique qualities in their product category and have already established their brand and history in other parts of the world. Crusta Nova offers these brands the opportunity to offer their products in the best restaurants and fish counters, as well as through their own B2C Seafood e-commerce portal in Germany and Austria. With its sustainable and contemporary business model, Crusta Nova meets eight UN goals for sustainable development, including No. 14 "Life under water", No. 13 "Climate protection measures", No. 12 "Sustainable consumption and production", No. 9 "Industry, innovation and infrastructure", No. 3 "Health and well-being" and No. 2 "No hunger". In addition to financial returns, Crusta Nova thus achieves measurable, beneficial social and environmental progress for society and the planet.

We are the Waze of the Ocean

Generate abundant solar electricity at sea

Development of a demonstration vessel

Ocearis provides seamless marine electrification through a modular, high-efficiency power system designed for both new builds and retrofits. We serve commercial and recreational vessel operators aiming to maximize their ROI on electrification. Our solution offers unmatched flexibility, cost reductions, and a standardized service model—unlike custom, one-off projects that lack standardization and economies of scale.

Offshore solutions

Octapoda develops software to automate image processing and data gathering in aquatic environments. Our objective is to become a worldwide leader in developing underwater imagery software and optical system solutions and platforms.

Ship guide and planning solution

Products extracted from natural resource of Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed.

Our project adapts a product that we already have in the market (high-durability floating farms for mussel harvesting) to be adapted for different sea-basins, be connectable to reduce the transportation costs, and to have remote monitoring to facilitate the farmer works. Considering the resiliency and affordability proven by these farms, the project also adapts their use for the solar floating energy sector. The project has five TRL7 pilots that sum up to 1000 m2 in three different basins for demonstration activities.

AI aimed at the detection & prevention of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.

- High quality dehydrated spirulina: it's 100% spirulina dehydrated at 40% it's presented as crunchy mini-noodles that can be introduced easily in the normal dishes. - Fresh spirulina: it's recent recolected spirulina, in a kind of pat. The main weak point it's last 7 days in the refrigerator, but it's also its strong point, as not imported spirulina can compete with it. Now we are working with IRTA to increase it's life....

Origin by Ocean is a deep-technology biorefinery company. With our technology we can utilize any brown algae, enabling us to utilize those invasive brown algae species that have the most negative effect on the marine environment and those cultivated brown algae which provide the most positive ecosystem services. We thus revive the oceans with profit, addressing the global multibillion environmental challenge of artificial nutrient overload of our oceans. We turn this environmental challenge into an opportunity in our multiproduct high efficiency biorefineries. We produce biobased ingredients such as emulsifiers and pigments for fast moving goods manufacturers within food, beverage, brewery, cosmetics, dairy and domestic detergents. We are building a billion euro company and global market leader in the nutrient removal and algae biorefining business.

ORPC is a global leader in the development of tidal and river hydrokinetic energy systems, centered around a modular and efficient crossflow turbine design. ORPC has substantial experience in the design, installation, and operation of these type of devices, installing 18 units since 2010, across a variety of locations and deployment environments. ORPC is the first company in the world to have installed and operated both grid-connected tidal and river energy systems. The ORPC RivGen Power System generates emission-free electricity from river and tidal currents as is designed to provide reliable power to remote and off-grid communities as part of a smart microgrid, and to improve the resiliency of industrial end-users and critical industry. ORPC is preparing to deploy a grid-connected pilot deployment of a RivGen Power System at the Fondation OPEN-C test area in Bordeaux, France, as part of the new Interreg NWE project SHINES . This will demonstrate the potential for hydrokinetic systems in a shallow river/estuary environment, and within a major European city.

B2B platform for social and environmental impact

Our demonstrator technology, P-Demo, integrates a 4.3 MW Wind Turbine Generator (WTG), a 0.8 MW Wave Energy Converter (WEC) system, and a hydrogen system comprising a 1 MW electrolyzer, 48 MWh of energy storage, and a 1.2 MW fuel cell. P-Demo is set to become the world’s first wind-wave-hydrogen unit, and it will be deployed at PLOCAN’s test site in Spain. This innovative system is projected to deliver 11.05 Gigawatt hours (GWh) per year of renewable electricity to the grid, avoiding a total of 25,557 tonnes of CO2 equivalent during its first 10 years of operation, with a remarkable 100% relative greenhouse gas (GHG) emission avoidance.
