Development of easy and eco-responsible nautical activities for the tourism of tomorrow

uFraction8 developed an industrially scalable bio-separation instrument that helps to produce more biomass from the same infrastructure, with less energy and cost and to solve the problems with harvesting and processing of cell cultures, starting with microalgae and cultivated meat and developing into other cell-based productions such as precision fermentation, cellular agriculture and bio-pharma. uFraction8’s technology is ready for final tests and commercialisation.

Ulysses Hellas S.A., was established in 2007 and is based in Piraeus, Greece. It provides software development products & solutions for the marine domain sector.

Tourism as a vector of marine regeneration

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.

The development of a catamaran boat with advanced systems for reducing the sliding resistance of the vessel. The design of smaller fast non-competitive boats has hardly changed in 60 years. Based on that Urban Innovations will realise an innovative solution for achieving better performance using a system of blowing micro air bubbles onto the sliding surfaces to reduce the friction coefficient of the boundary layer of the fluid, and the use of nanocoating’s, we were the first in the world to be able to offer the market more than 60% HIGHER TOP SPEED at the same engine power as classic boats with comparable or lower price. The boat that we are developing had catamaran shaped hull with special designed ergonomic deck and number of advanced solutions.We have already produced one boat and sold two others (all so far without blowing micro air bubbles – this will be realised in the future versions). Our market perspective looks very bright and we are confident to expand sales exponentially.

Spinoff of over 15 years of R&D on sustainable Road Transport and Urban Mobility in Connected Vehicles. PRR project underway on a solution/POC to support public-private incentives for cycling mobility. Leads a €5 million project with Celtic-Next's Full Label and approved by Portugal 2030 on sustainable Road Transport and Urban Mobility in Connected Vehicles, scheduled to start in October 2025. Given the specific experience of the founding partners and the evolution of the tourism sector in Portugal, the company intends to diversify its offerings with an innovative nautical tourism project in the country, offering liveaboard services on a 50-foot, 5-cabin sailboat equipped with the most innovative emission-free propulsion and circularity solutions. A critical requirement for the project is the ability to operate without geographic limits, i.e., anywhere in mainland Portugal and the islands, or internationally, such as the Mediterranean and Cape Verde.

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.
