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.

Wave Daedalus

Wave Daedalus is a blue economy project focused on the design and development of a wave energy converter with a dual role, near shore and in vessels. Wave Daedalus technology has been developed by EWD's founder, Dimitrios Lygeris, and is based on the operating principle of the free gyroscope. Using a lever, a floater is connected to the gyroscopic mechanism, which converts the free motion of the floater into rotational motion. This solution combines simple design with high energy efficiency, low manufacturing cost and easy removal. It allows for energy harvesting regradless of the direction of waves. It’s deployment can be scaled according to the energy needs of the customer and can meet power requirements from 0.5 kW to 100 kW or more (subject to conditions and deployment area). Daedalus represents a new approach to positively impacting the energy sector and contributing to sustainable shipping.

Wellness Lab EU

We're interested in discovering what other materials can be powdered to produce a protein/collagen product ready for human consumption. We're new in this space but we've so far marketed marine collagen from Pangasius, Clarias Gariepinus, and Tilapia which has been received well on the direct to consumer market. We're committed to becoming more sustainable, more transparent by working directly with fisheries, zero waste both in manufacturing and product packaging.
