Undine is committed towards working for a future where sustainable, electric sailing is a viable alternative to the classic inboard engine. Sustainable sailing to us means safe, long lasting electric motors and batteries that provides long range with no fossil fuels, no oil, no fumes, and that are easy to manage. In other words: We develop complete energy systems for sailboats incl. next generation electric propulsion that hydro regenerate energy while sailing, marine safe lithium batteries, full software control, steering and monitoring on the boat and from a distance.

Fresh-water aquaculture production and processing

Universal Plastic guide companies to easily integrate Blue Economy into their commercial activities, enhancing brand awareness and business success. We use the latest web3 tech to verify Blue Corps contributions to Ocean Defenders ( Waste Collectors ), financially enabling them to remove plastic waste from heavily impacted marine ecosystems. This is done via ONDAs (Ocean Notarised Digital Assets), our waves of change, transforming plastic waste collections into digital assets. These ONDAs are generated via our digital Meassurement, Report and Verification system based on AI and public blockchain technology.

Upcycling the Oceans Mediterranean

Upcyclink is a French food tech company that transforms seafood production line waste, offcuts and side streams into high value ingredients with on-site solutions. Upcyclink’s team of experts design and implement comprehensive turnkey solutions to add significant value to waste streams, converting them into high-value upcycled products such as hydrolysates, powders and protein concentrates for petfood, aquafeed, fish baits or well being markets.

We researched for over 17 years on the question how to grow huge quantities of the very sensitive and endangered specie Ostrea edulis. We are now in a position for upscaling our production on the basis of our own technology, processes, IP and very special water quality.

Giving a new life to marine litter

Multi-functional drone system

Zeal Industries is committed to applying technology to create positive social change, and improve global welfare. We develop innovative solutions that address critical global issues, such as poverty, and unequal access to healthcare. Our flagship product, Uptime, is a low-cost, satellite-powered wearable that provides essential maritime safety, and is in direct response to the urgent need for affordable and reliable safety measures for those risking their lives at sea.

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.

in-situ device for monitoring individual fish

Val Bio Waste Composite is a scientific technology company founded in 2022 in Tunisia. Built on eight years of research at the Environmental Engineering and Eco-Technology Laboratory (ENIS), we have successfully scaled from a laboratory prototype to industrial production. Our eco-friendly plastic provides a sustainable alternative to fossil-based plastics, enabling the transition to biodegradable, biomass-based solutions. With this innovation, we aim to combat plastic pollution in oceans and seas.

Vectura System, an innovative Franco-German company based between Nantes and Hamburg, which offers a 100% digital approach to decarbonize Work vessels.

VEGARDEN is an innovative Agritech startup, with an integrated Aquaponic ecosystem. In this model, insects are bred on organic waste from greenhouse plant cultivation to create a high-protein feed source for fish. Those fish are farmed in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), achieving a biomass yield per m3 three times higher than traditional aquaponics, and ensuring optimal health through full control of farming conditions. Water from RAS is then treated in multistage bioreactors, allowing the conversion of waste into nutrients for plants, recovering over 90% of nutrients usually lost in traditional systems. Greenhouse plants, grown via vertical farming, benefit from enriched water, yielding annually five times more than field cultivation, with over 95% savings in water and land use. Finally, plant waste is reused as feed for insect larvae, reducing insect farm operational costs by 40%.

We provide the maritime industry with low emission sail assisted super yachts and ships.

Sylents is a high efficient propulsion system

VesselBot is a technology company that offers to the stakeholders of the shipping industry the opportunity to jump on board and take advantage of the cutting-edge technologies which enable them to optimize their performance and reduce costs. By using our platform, chartering practitioners are able to charter a vessel in seconds as opposed to days, achieving better and more up-to-date results. Furthermore, through our Data Intelligence reports and analytics as well as through our Intelligent Tools, they gain more forward-looking market insights that can increase profitability for their companies by making better, data-driven business decisions.

Vestland Pharma is a pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing natural and environmentally friendly solutions for the aquaculture industry, with a focus on innovative treatments for sea lice.

We are developing a biorefinery concept in order to use local red seaweed for the production of different semi and final products. With scientific projects we are testing methods based on circular economy principles in order to use the biomass for extraction of natural colorants, carrageenan, lipids, proteins and biostimulants.

Our start-up VH Quatrevingtreize developed a smart autonomous vessel, integrating its worldwide patented hydroturbines in the device, to transform wave movements into renewable energy. The energy is stored onboard and supplied offshore to research, defense and industries. The produced energy can also be used directly onboard for production and supply of finished "goods" to the continent (fresh water through desalination, green hydrogen, CO2 captation on the sea.. )
