Our project involves developing and deploying an innovative Submersible Ocean Data Buoy aimed at transforming aquaculture management. We are creating a reliable and scalable monitoring system that provides continuous, in-depth environmental data. This project supports the aquaculture industry by enhancing water quality monitoring, promoting sustainable practices, and driving data-driven decision-making for optimal fish farming conditions. Through our technology, we aim to empower aquaculture operators with the tools necessary to achieve higher productivity and sustainability.

OceanEnergy, which is the trading name of New Wave Technologies Limited, is a specialised commercial company developing wave energy technology. The company is developing technology which has been extensively tested and is now at a stage where it is now one of the most commercially viable technologies for harnessing the power of the oceans. The device, through careful development, has the advantages of a robust and practical design, one moving part and proven survivability having withstood over 3 years of live sea trials in Atlantic waves.
Recently awarded funding for a Horizon Europe project of €19.6 million, which is part funded by the EU and Innovate UK, and s a collaboration between OceanEnergy, the European Marine Energy Centre, University of Exeter and eleven other partners. The project will demonstrate a grid connected 1MW OE35 floating wave energy converter (known as the OE Buoy) at the European Marine Energy Test Site in Orkney, Scotland.

Ocean Visuals AS (OV) is a Norwegian registered company providing sensor systems for early detection of oil and organics in water. OV offer OWL™ LiDAR sensor systems for real-time detection and classification of oil and organics like algae in the sea. We provide real-time data gathering with our best-in-class photonics sensory and contextualize the data from the air, on the surface and subsea to extract insights. We provide in-situ verification of oil types, also submerged (invisible) oil that existing satellite radar or infrared cameras are unable to detect. OV is based out of Ålesund, Norway, with an office in the Oslo region and a fully owned subsidiary in Tallinn, Estonia.

Oceanium is an impact business formed to enable the emerging sustainably-farmed seaweed industry. We do this by creating products including all-natural nutraceuticals, food ingredients and bio-packaging materials for the high-growth plant-based foods and circular life cycle packaging markets. Our biorefinery is at TRL 6-8 for various of our nutraceutical and food products, with packaging at TRL 3/4. Kelp-EU is designed to enable scale-up of our operation where we process and sell the out put of 150 tonnes of farmed seaweed.

Crusta Nova, an innovative company from Bavaria, that breeds saltwater shrimp in a land-based aquaculture recirculation system and is a trader of high-quality and sustainable seafood.
In times of globalized supply chains, Crusta Nova sees itself as a pioneer of future-oriented, sustainable and transparent food production. As one of the few worldwide pioneers, the company has developed special know-how in the breeding of turnkey, land-based and site-independent aquacultures for saltwater shrimp. With the help of the state-of-the-art software-supported recirculation technology developed by Crusta Nova, it is possible to bring the sea to Bavaria and offer a shrimp farmed in Germany that meets the demands of modern consumers. The Bavarian shrimp is available in the best fish counters and top restaurants in Germany and Austria. Among gourmets, the Bavarian shrimp is considered the preferred choice due to its firm texture and sweet, nutty taste. Its sashimi quality convinces every gourmet and even allows raw consumption.
The Bavarian shrimp is bred species-appropriate with low stocking densities and without antibiotics where it is consumed. Avoiding long transport routes, the shrimp are reared by hand and with great respect for the living creature, completely free of artificial additives and particularly high-quality food from sustainable sources. In the sustainable farm, the climate of the mangrove forests of South America, the natural habitat and home of the shrimp, is reproduced in a closed system in 8 breeding ponds. Fresh water consumption is minimized by 4 separate water circuits with their own, purely biological water treatment. At 29 degrees water temperature and 30 degrees air temperature, 30 tons of White Tiger Shrimp grow annually from the post larvae to market size.
Furthermore, Crusta Nova operates a "House of Brands" B2B seafood platform and a B2C e-commerce portal with high quality and sustainable seafood and fish. The company stands for excellent quality and sustainable catching/breeding and has been able to establish itself as one of the leading suppliers of high quality seafood in the market in a short period of time. For the most part Crusta Nova is the exclusive distribution partner of worldwide suppliers for Germany and Austria. The suppliers are carefully selected. All of them have unique qualities in their product category and have already established their brand and history in other parts of the world. Crusta Nova offers these brands the opportunity to offer their products in the best restaurants and fish counters, as well as through their own B2C Seafood e-commerce portal in Germany and Austria.
With its sustainable and contemporary business model, Crusta Nova meets eight UN goals for sustainable development, including No. 14 "Life under water", No. 13 "Climate protection measures", No. 12 "Sustainable consumption and production", No. 9 "Industry, innovation and infrastructure", No. 3 "Health and well-being" and No. 2 "No hunger". In addition to financial returns, Crusta Nova thus achieves measurable, beneficial social and environmental progress for society and the planet.
