Oceanloop

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.

oclean gGmbH

We use various formats to explain the topic of waste, plastic and how to handle it. In order to achieve this, we organize public waste collection campaigns, so-called Clean Ups, for everyone in the city of Hamburg (and beyond), offer Consciousness Classes (workshops) in the B2B and educational sector and organize Consciousness Events (e.g. clothes-swapping event, sustainable Christmas market, etc.). With oclean we want to encourage a rethinking in the handling of our resources and the environment in an easily accessible way. For this very reason, we, the three sisters Hannah, Lena and Marie founded oclean, in order to encourage people to actively reduce their waste and plastic consumption in the long term, without pointing a finger and with an intrinsic motivation. Everyone can join oclean without any effort- to make the world a little bit better together!

ODYBOAT

Odyboat is developing a shared maritime mobility platform that enables users to book anything from a single seat to a full boat or an entire fleet, supported by last-minute optimization features that maximize onboard occupancy. The project directly contributes to the Blue Economy by enhancing the use of existing nautical assets, reducing unnecessary maritime traffic, generating income for local operators, activating coastal micro-economies, integrating sustainable land-based services, and promoting low-impact access to the sea. The model transforms underused resources into economic, social, and tourism value, creating an integrated ecosystem that supports efficiency, circularity, and local growth while preserving the marine environment.

ODYBOAT

1. Company Snapshot Name: Odyboat Stage: Pre-launch / Pre-seed Sector: Blue Economy – Marine Mobility – Coastal Tourism Tech Model: Two-sided digital marketplace with flexible booking (single seat, full boat, multi-boat, last-minute dynamic pricing) Founder: Raffaele Moscagiuro Email: commander@odyboat.com – Italy 2. Value Proposition Odyboat introduces a new paradigm in marine mobility and aims to become a true economic engine for coastal territories and maritime communities. The platform provides a flexible and modular booking system that allows users to reserve: • a single seat • multiple seats, up to the entire vessel • several boats simultaneously for events or large groups • last-minute seats through a smart dynamic pricing model By connecting verified skippers, underused vessels and local coastal businesses, Odyboat creates a digital infrastructure that: • generates income • creates new jobs • strengthens local value chains • supports sustainable and inclusive coastal development Odyboat is not only a mobility solution – it is an economic accelerator capable of activating entire territories. 3. The Problem The marine and coastal ecosystem suffers from long-standing inefficiencies: • boats remain unused for most of the year • access to the sea is fragmented, costly and poorly digitalised • coastal experiences lack standardisation and visibility • communities lack an engine capable of transforming maritime potential into real economic growth Demand exists, the coastline exists, and the boats exist — but the infrastructure to connect them is missing. 4. The Odyboat Solution Odyboat provides a complete digital system built to operate across diverse maritime environments. A. Single-Seat Booking Democratises access to marine mobility and enables spontaneous micro-routes. B. Full-Boat Booking Ideal for families, groups and private customised experiences. C. Multi-Boat Coordination A signature feature that synchronises several vessels for: • weddings • large groups • tour operators • corporate events • destination managers Departure times, availability and payments are centralised. D. Last-Minute Smart Filling A dynamic pricing engine optimises remaining seats, improving: • skipper revenues • route occupancy • user accessibility • overall operational efficiency E. Verified Skipper Network A rigorous compliance check ensures: • identity verification • boating licence • insurance • vessel safety certification • adherence to local regulations F. Integrated Safety & Compliance • secure in-app communication • traceable payments • real-time marine weather • emergency SOS with geolocation • travel and transaction logs 5. Impact & Sustainability Economic Impact – Odyboat as a Job Creation Engine Odyboat is designed to generate employment and stimulate local economies. The platform creates: • new revenue opportunities for skippers and small boat owners • new professional roles in marine mobility • indirect jobs for coastal businesses (hospitality, artisans, guides, rentals) • new demand for technical services (maintenance, mechanics, marinas) • opportunities for young residents to offer local experiences Odyboat turns the sea into a distributed and scalable economic ecosystem. Environmental Impact • optimises existing fleets • reduces pressure on land-based tourism • encourages low-impact, slow and sustainable travel • promotes responsible coastal mobility Social Impact • makes the sea more accessible • strengthens community identity • enhances local cultural and maritime heritage 6. Pilot Area & Scalability Architecture A. Active Pilot Area Gulf of Poets (La Spezia – Portovenere – Lerici) Chosen for its: • dense network of micro-routes • strong maritime culture • local operator availability • immediate integration with coastal activities B. Scalable Architecture (Coasts, Archipelagos, Lakes, Rivers) Although the pilot is currently focused on the Gulf of Poets, Odyboat is engineered to operate across a wide range of navigable water ecosystems, including: coastal regions archipelagos and islands major tourist ports navigable lakes passable rivers An Interconnected Aquatic Ecosystem Where geography allows, Odyboat can connect: • coasts ↔ rivers • rivers ↔ lakes • ports ↔ islands • coastal hubs ↔ inland waterways These connections create a seamless ecosystem of mobility, tourism and economic opportunities. Strategic Economic Engine This architecture supports: • market expansion across diverse territories • new job opportunities beyond the coast • multi-seasonal activity (not limited to summer) • long-term international scalability 7. Alignment with Blue Economy Priorities Odyboat aligns with the pillars of the European Blue Economy: • digital transformation of maritime services • optimisation of existing assets • economic development for coastal communities • sustainable short-range marine mobility • low-impact tourism models • social inclusion and local empowerment • readiness for multi-country EU integration 8. Objectives for Collaboration with European Ecosystems Odyboat aims to access: • strategic mentorship • support for cross-border scale-up • maritime-focused investors • EU innovation programmes (BlueInvest, EIC, coastal clusters) • visibility in high-potential coastal and island markets 9.
