Upscaling of hatchery production for Ostrea edulis

The company runs Sweden*s only hatchery for the endangered oyster Ostrea edulis. Due to Swedish laws the company solely focused in its research since 2007 on a solution for a big scaleable technology for a sustainable breeding of the oyster on land from larvae to spats and from there on long lines in the sea. The company has now reached a technological break-through with the opportunity for a large scale supply of spats for resturation projects all over Europe but as well for high volume production with an expansion plan for up to 2000 t of Ostrea edulis. The company now seeks significant investments for a new hatchery facility in the seiye of 60 mio EUR.

uWare Robotics - Autonomous & Accessible Underwater Data Collection and Processing

uWare Robotics is taking the aerial drone revolution underwater to protect our oceans and secure our future. uWare is a European dual-use startup that builds autonomous underwater solutions so that any blue industry can have the data necessary for sustainable operations. Port activities and offshore renewable energy are crucial to our sustainable future. They are skyrocketing and need underwater data to manage their activities and protect their assets. Yet, current solutions for underwater data are cumbersome, dangerous and expensive. uWare’s end-to-end solution of fully autonomous underwater drones and accompanying AI-based data processing makes underwater data safe, efficient and affordable. A vision that is backed by first customers such as Fraunhofer Smart Ocean technologies, the Oceanographic Institutes of Spain and Portugal, Marine Inspection companies Créocean and Seaviews as well as defence consortia in critical infrastructure inspection. uWare has also been welcomed into prestigious blue economy networks such as the Sustainable Ocean Alliance Ecopreneurs and the EU BlueInvest program.

Virtualdive

OceanConnected allows any internet user to practice "virtual dive" as an alternative to scuba dive. It associates professional divers (instructors and scientists) diving in undersea sites around the world, equipped with a submersible, computerised, connected console named Dolphyn, with internet users, subscribers of the web platform OceanConnected. It further mobilises biomimetic underwater robots, connected with this console for deeper diving. It allows, by programming the robot, its use for stationary observation of, for exemple, coral reefs, without disturbing the ecosystem. Contrary to scuba diving, virtual dive allows the geo-positioning of the collected images, its identification through data basis. It further allows the discover and exploration of the undersea mobilising social networks and offering to young children in schools the access to ocean depths, in real time end interactively.
