Critical infrastructure on the seabed transports energy and data essential for resilience of our modern societies. However, as incidents like Nord Stream and Estlinks have shown, these assets are vulnerable, and threats—such as China’s recent patent for an anchor-like cable cutter—are growing. The challenge? We lack marine critical infrastructure real-time supervision, often detecting issues only when failures occur. Our solution, “Autonomous Watching Eyes,” provides large-scale, continuous monitoring of marine assets. Using a fleet of Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) equipped with advanced sensing and communication systems, we offer proactive threat detection and rapid reporting. Our ASVs navigate autonomously, operate 24/7, and run on hybrid-electric power, staying at sea for up to two weeks without refuelling. With 15+ years of experience in robotics and the marine sector, we leverage proven technology for rapid scaling, giving us a strong competitive edge. We are already engaged in pilot projects with global industry leaders for 2025 and seek funding to accelerate industry demonstrations and expand operations.

Blue Ocean Closures – Replacing Plastic, Reducing Littering, and Driving Sustainable Innovation Blue Ocean Closures (BOC) is a Swedish company pioneering fiber-based packaging solutions to replace plastic, reduce littering, and support a circular economy. Our mission is to develop sustainable alternatives for some of the most commonly littered plastic items, including caps and closures, which are among the top plastic waste found on EU beaches. Using cutting-edge technology such as fiber sintering and high-speed servo press manufacturing, we produce cellulose-based closures that match the durability and performance of plastic while being recyclable and biodegradable. Our solutions significantly lower the use of fossil-based materials, decrease carbon emissions, and integrate seamlessly into existing recycling systems. BOC’s innovations align with EU sustainability goals and plastic reduction regulations, offering global brands a scalable, environmentally friendly alternative. Our work actively contributes to reducing plastic pollution and promoting a cleaner environment, addressing key concerns of both consumers and policymakers. By participating in the EU BlueInvest Initiative, we aim to accelerate market adoption, foster strategic partnerships, and secure investment to scale our impact—driving the transition towards a more sustainable and plastic-free future.

The Power of Mother of Pearl: REPAIR & REGENERATE

As a platform, we cater to two sets of customers: algae biomass buyers and algae producers/suppliers. Both face substantial uncertainty, risks, and information gaps, impeding innovation and scalability. Buyers encounter challenges in finding reliable sources that meet their demands efficiently. Algae, a low-carbon resource, aligns with the Paris Agreement goals. On the flip side, suppliers grapple with market access issues. They struggle to produce products that fit the market and encounter unsold stock, insufficient information for strategic decisions, financial shortages, and survival struggles. The disconnection between buyers and suppliers impedes innovation, survival, and scale-up efforts.

At Bluelands, we are addressing three major global challenges simultaneously: rapid urban growth leading to housing and space shortages, increased flood risk, and limitations on land reclamation.

BlueNav specializes in transforming traditional combustion engine boats into hybrid electric vessels within the marine electromobility sector.

BluEnergy Revolution (BER) offers Engineering, Consulting and Training services in the field of traditional and innovative energy systems, bringing research excellence in these fields and in particular all the knowledge in the nautical sector. The product that will be launched in the marine sector from its spinoff company H2Boat (H2B) is the Energy Pack, a system of storage of energy produced from renewable sources for sailing boats. The Energy Pack is a system that uses hydrogen technology to autonomous leisure boats; especially sailing boats; from the point of view of the electrical needs on board. The system consists of three parts: a fuel cell, able to produce electricity from hydrogen; an accumulation with metal hydrides, able to store large quantities of hydrogen safely at low temperatures and low pressures; an electrolyzer, able to produce hydrogen from water using excess energy produced from renewable sources.
