The compact refinery WASTX Plastic, basing on the process of catalytic depolymerization, offers a prototype, ready to go into serial production, which converts plastic waste into a diesel-like fuel, automatically presorting, cleaning and shredding it beforehand. Hereby, the chemical compounds of the plastic material become resolved and transformed back to their original liquid state through thermodynamic processes during a process of multi-stage refining progress. Using this technology, one kilogram of plastic will be converted into approximately one litre of fuel, corresponding to up to 10 kilowatt-hours of energy. The WASTX Plant is capable of feeding, processing and cleaning itself 24/7 completely automated. Due to its compact construction style the entire system, presorting and crushing included, currently require the space of a 40-foot sea container. It can be placed and operated decentralized without having to transport the waste.

BioFeyn's mission is to create better feed for better fish. In the simplest sense, we are improving what farmed fish eat. We are optimizing ingredients so fish can get more of what they naturally get in the ocean. We are doing so through a system of biocompatible and biodegradable encapsulations, which both protects marine ingredients and amplifies their effect. Trace amounts of marine ingredients are surrounded by a shell of other naturally-derived compounds. This ensures better digestion, absorption, bioavailability, and delivery to target tissues in the animals to help them grow and remain healthy.

Waterbody revitalization without additives

Our solution will develop a custom IoThub and a cloud solution to host data. Both applications rely on open standards, giving maximum flexibility to shipping companies. This allows a shipowner to select an IotHub from another vendor and connect it to our cloud platform and vice versa or interface between our platform and another IoT platform. However, the time difference in arrival estimation requires that data be sampled synchronously down to less than a trial period for all sensors. This is not a trivial task and this functionality is not found in any common applications today. Since our IoT hub is implemented on top of an integrated Linux platform that in turn interfaces with up to 127 embedded modules via its I2C bus, the hub can be dynamically expanded to test between one and several hundred sensors synchronously, and if more endpoints are required, we will also be able to connect several IotHubs.The IoT platform combines methods in frequency analysis, machine learning.

BioQuest Alliance (BQA) is a company currently in the start-up phase focussed on developing a series of facilities worldwide, producing clean energy in the form of biofuels, transitionary (including maritime) fuels, and electricity, from plastic and organic (food) waste and with a vision to build and inspire a better, more resourceful, and sustainable world for future generations. Several sites have currently been planned along with a strategy to tackle (i) waste, (ii) green and transitionary fuels, and (iii) the provision of electricity locally, nationally, and ultimately worldwide. It is an ambitious crossover of multiple technologies in a clear and profitable business model, to accelerate - and profit from - a global green-power revolution. Each BQA facility comprises three main phases, each complementing the last, and improving the overall efficiency and value of the facility, with a key goal to turn each BQA facility into an energetic, scientific, and waste-processing hub in its respective region(s).

Bluana is a foodtech startup with the mission to create a plant-based seafood alternative product, for tuna and salmon sashimi.

AI-driven compliance automation for the maritime and industrial sectors.

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 Blue Tourism Initiative is a global multi-stakeholder innovation program focused on the environmental management, governance, and planning of coastal and maritime tourism in three marine regions: the Mediterranean, the Western Indian Ocean, and the Caribbean. The project supports the participatory development of sustainable blue tourism initiatives through policy actions and a multi-stakeholder approach, with the aim of informing the scalability of sustainable blue tourism in other regions.

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.
