SAITEC S.A.

SATH floating platform is based on four fundamental principles, which are: the use of concrete, the geometry of the floats, the arrangement of the structure and the mooring system, that presents the following significant competitive improvements compared to existing solutions in the market: - The use of concrete instead of steel to reduce the construction, operation and maintenance costs as well as to extend its operational lifetime. - The construction and assembly are made entirely onshore which reduces both investment costs and potential risks (e. g. labour, HSE, and weather windows), finally towing the assembly floating to site. - Platform draught is reduced (draught <10 meters), which makes it suitable for both shallow and deep waters. - It provides a Plug & Play solution, with easy connection process, so the platform can be easily installed or disconnected and taken ashore for major part repairs.

SAMMY

SaMMY is a serious attempt to introduce new services and systems in the global marinas and tourist ports market, similar to the previous market breakthrough success of the smart parking and smart environment solutions. SaMMY allows captains/crew members to easily search, compare, book and securely pay a berth space using on-demand services. The novelty of the system relies on the wide-use of assisting and notification mechanisms that further exploit the capabilities of the smart/mobile devices and the technological breakthrough of using a multi-purpose sensor grid in the maritime environment (for collecting real-time water data, environmental data, boat positioning and behavior or docking areas occupancy). As a disruptive solution SaMMY introduces the concept of Next Generation Marina, by offering multipurpose sensor grids, unified booking and operating management systems, optimizing the marinas processes and increase traffic and revenues.

Sea the Change srl

Helping companies reach sustainability goals through the protection of marine ecosystems.
Project TRL: TRL 7 - System prototype demonstration in a relevant environment
Main sector: Coastal and environmental protection and regeneration

Sea the Change srl

Sea the Change is an innovative startup with a social vocation that helps companies achieve their sustainability goals through projects, with high environmental, social, and economic impact, all linked to the protection and safeguarding of marine ecosystems. Sea the Change operates in a context where climate change, and the resulting issues of biodiversity loss, marine litter, and ocean acidification, are challenging the health of the oceans. It is precisely marine ecosystems that may be the greatest ally in the fight against climate change, given that their CO₂ uptake capacity can be 20 times greater than that of terrestrial ecosystems. Institutions (EU, WEF. UN) are also intensifying interest in the Blue economy, given the important environmental, economic, and social benefits it can generate: "1€ invested in the protection of marine ecosystems can generate up to 10€ of social, environmental and economic benefits" (Deloitte, 2021). Companies, on the other hand, driven by financial, legislative, and market motivations need high-impact sustainability solutions that meet international standards. The "sustainable sea-based solutions" proposed by StC offer companies outputs in line with their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals, making accessibility and local impact its distinctive feature.

SEA-SURF(R) Boats with Patented Technology Enabling Sustainable Growth of Maritime Tourism Industry

Extends “Comfortable Inexpensive DAILY REACH” of the Mainstream Charter to 30-50 Nm (!). A patented (2022 Europe and 2023 US) Surfing-v-Hull(R) Hydrodynamic Technology, as realised in our Sea-Surf-14,9m boats entering series production in 2024 in Croatia. For the smaller boats of the size as typical for the mainstream Charter boat industry, provides: (1) Stable high-speed ride on the choppy sea waves – better than boats of twice the weight, (2) Widest effective speed envelope 8kt to 32kt, and (3) Reduction of fuel consumption and the corresponding CO2 footprint by 50%. Enabling the Charter crews to step beyond the traditional "10-15nm daily travel" routine and venture easily to the offshore destinations located 30-50nm away within a 2-3 hour comfortable and inexpensive ride – thereby for the first time including the farther away offshore POIs as the Charter industry’s mainstream destinations – thus promoting a sustainable investment into development of these new locations, which so far have been neglected. And at the same time easing the massive congestion existing currently at the POIs within the “10-15nm typical daily ride" distance. Sea-Surf-14,9m boats facilitate a long-needed change promoting a balanced development of all attractive Maritime Tourism POI destinations, regardless of the travel distance. This in turn will attract significant investment covering a much larger network of POIs and facilitate a more balanced harmonic and ecological development of the Maritime Tourism industry overall – ultimately increasing its attractiveness and leading to its sustainable growth, thus benefiting the communities relying on the Maritime Tourism revenues, whilst preserving the Environment. The technical characteristics of Surfing-v-Hull(R) technology also make it particularly suited for installation of an All-Electric powerplant – which in time will enable the first zero-emission high-speed mainstream Charter boats.

Seabased

Seabased’s turnkey wave energy parks can deliver the immense power of ocean waves directly to the grid, 24 hours a day, all year long. With a pipeline of over 200 MW, our go-to-market product is cost competitive and designed to scale. The parks can operate alone or serve as companions to renewables like offshore wind to provide stable power to the grid with no CO2 emissions. Our scientists and engineers have amassed more than 300 patents and 20 PhD theses while developing and ocean testing full-scale generators in the seas of four countries, including two multi-generator grid-connected demonstration wave power parks. Seabased wave power parks are virtually invisible and require little maintenance. The parks are gentle on the ocean environment and can act as artificial reefs, providing both habitat and breeding grounds for desired species. We are in the final stages of testing and certification and are planning to install our first fully commercial pilot and ramp up industrial production in 2022.
