PlanBlue’s technology combines RGB and hyperspectral sensors with a machine learning pipeline to map and classify the seafloor. To illustrate, it’s akin to the concept of an augmented reality program identifying an object such as a table. With the addition of the hyperspectral camera, the technology not only recognises the object, but can also provide insights into its composition and reveal what’s contained within it, enhancing the depth of information obtained during seafloor mapping and classification.

Blue world dolphin watching is already a benchmark in the industry for a dolphin welfare based tours and with the introduction of the self sustainable ships and the AI based smartphone app and platform which promotes citizen science, this will be taken to the next level.
We plan to prove that self sufficient solar catamarans can replace the outdated whale watching fleet and thus reduce the negative impact like, chemical and noise pollution.
The electric catamarans will serve as research vessels in off-season, and serve as the EU first best practice platform for promotion of renewable resources, marine conservation and the sustainable shift of the dolphin watching and tourist excursion industries
While BWI is already a leader in the field of replacing the plastic souvenirs with innovative products and adopt a dolphin programs, we will take it to the next level with the shift to next gen NFT souvenirs
through monetization of the BWI data base and AI computer vision.

We have developed microalgae photobioreactors that enable cultivation also in the Nordic climate. The designed system uses the CO2 directly from the biomass-based energy utilities flue gas and also excess heat. From the equipment engineering start-up, we now strive to grow into a company that uses this technology for cultivating microalgae and is making products thereof (based on the cascading principle). We have found confidence in the fish/animal feed sector, but now strive to launch products with higher value - targeting the market of antimicrobial compounds.

Pronoe is a CO2 removal company.
We restore the ocean’s natural ability to capture and permanently store CO2 from the air, in a sustainable, scalable and asset-light manner.
In practice, we design automated water treatment systems that seamlessly integrate into the operations of existing coastal industries.
As a result, Pronoe’s activities generate high-quality CO2 removal certificates to customers, valorize otherwise wasted effluents, and locally mitigate ocean acidification.
To the benefit of the climate, coastal communities and ecosystems, worldwide.

Powering Aquaculture Sustainably
A new, 300 kW floating device is being developed to provide power solutions for the aquaculture industry. Designed to operate efficiently in low wave heights (Hs), the technology aims to reduce reliance on petrol and cut down on carbon dioxide emissions. This initiative is particularly significant as it targets environmentally sensitive areas, aligning with global efforts to decarbonize and protect delicate ecosystems.

Portugal has been a tourist destination experiencing significant growth over the past two decades, driven by its safety, hospitality, and value for money.
Portugal's traditional tourism offerings have been concentrated in Lisbon (37% seasonality) and the Alentejo and Algarve coasts (45% seasonality). These rates are expected to be reduced.
And growth rates in 2024 of 5% in the number of tourists and 9% in revenue (adjusting for inflation), reached targets that were forecast for 2027.
Portugal has a unique coastline, but despite having had some of the world's greatest navigators over the last 600 years, the nautical tourism offering is scarce.
The PT.OCEAN-IN project aims to put Portugal back on the path of the great discoverers of the 16th century, with its "spices" today being true SEA LOVERS, but with complete comfort, safety, and sustainability.
We want to introduce "LIVEABOARD" tourism to the Portuguese coast, which has had explosive success throughout the Mediterranean, with highly qualified professionals.

The pioneering, eco-friendly technology performs sophisticated water bottom cleaning in the most cost and time-efficient way, providing a positive impact on the environment. PurOceans can clean up floors of the water bodies from oil, microplastic and chemical sediments without: Applying any bio/chemical substances, Mechanical intervention/lifting of soil, Using electric impulses, Other nowadays methods, that one way, or another, harm flora and fauna.
And, it has a number of advantages:
New technology - eliminate the pollution from waterbodys floor on the depth of 25 meters (in future up to 200 meters depth),
Provide efficient cleaning (proven results - 98% of water/floor purification),
Eco-friendly solution no chemical/mechanical intervention,
No adverse effect - no damage to flora & fauna in any way.
How it works:
The technology is based on the principle of FLOTATION (molecular adhesion of petroleum hydrocarbons to the boundary between two phases air and liquid).
