OCEANOVATION’s Post

Katapult Ocean is proud to back FLOCEAN in their $9M Series A round alongside co-investors including Nysnø Climate Investments and Burnt Island Ventures. Flocean's subsea desalination technology is transforming how we produce freshwater, cutting energy use by 50% while protecting marine ecosystems. As global water scarcity intensifies, global freshwater demand is projected to exceed supply by 40% by 2030, innovations like this are critical. 🌍 🌊 We're excited to support the team's mission to deliver sustainable water access worldwide. 🧑🏫 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e3ry_q29 📚 Read Flocean's feature in TechCrunch: https://lnkd.in/gmgf-N42 Jonas Skattum Svegaarden, Ross Brooks, Ingrid H.

Yes! We closed a $9M (100M NOK) Series A to scale subsea desalination. A big thanks to our investors for believing in this mission: Burnt Island Ventures, Nysnø Climate Investments, Freebird Partners LP, Vind, Katapult Ocean, MP PENSJON PK, and our partners at Siemens Energy. And to the team at FLOCEAN and FSUBSEA for their brilliance and hard work. Norway is the best country in the world to build deep oceantech and we are lucky to step 30 seconds from our PCs to our in-house subsea test pit and workshop in Oslo. We’re ready to bring sustainable freshwater to coastal communities worldwide 🌊! #climatetech #deeptech #water #desalination #subseaRO https://lnkd.in/dPa8dwaR

🌊 Dutch company GBM Works has raised €6 million in seed funding to further develop its Vibrojet® technology, a silent and environmentally friendly solution for installing offshore wind monopiles. Key investors in this round include Rotterdamse Havendraken , Katapult Ocean, EIC Fund, and existing shareholders, with additional opportunities for co-investors to raise funding to €7.5 million. The Vibrojet® technology aims to address environmental challenges by significantly reducing noise pollution during offshore wind construction, aligning with stricter regulations and mitigating harm to marine ecosystems. 🐟⚡ Read more: https://lnkd.in/dqGnciZV #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #MarineConservation #CleanTech #GreenEnergy #Innovation #ClimateAction #WindPower

We are thrilled and honored to be mentioned by 1000 Ocean Startups as part of their featuring SeaAhead's latest whitepaper "Innovations to Support Biodiversity in Offshore Wind", published in collaboration with Ørsted and Venterra Group and specifically targeted at offshore wind investors as well as stakeholders.   Among 2000+ ocean-based startups, PlanBlue was identified as one of 150 key organisations whose work and efforts support the globally expanding offshore wind sector in not only transitioning to a low-carbon, clean energy future, but to additionally having a net-positive impact on marine biodiversity. How? In our case, by providing cutting-edge technology in the form of a highly flexible seafloor mapping system that combines underwater hyperspectral and RGB imaging, navigation sensors and an AI-driven data processing pipeline. Our maps look beyond the visible seafloor: By giving baseline and long-term insights into e.g., habitat communities, biomass, carbon stock or ecosystem health, our technology and data products enable informed decision-making processes during all four stages of wind farm development: Planning Design and Permitting, Installation, Operations and Maintenance, End of Life.   #1000OceanStartups #OffshoreWind #Biodiversity #climatechange #naturebasedsolutions

The play on words is clearly intended when Tobias Brink and our Swedish industry colleagues at Envigas AB say they are "paving the way" towards a sustainable future💚 Great to see new partnerships shaping up where pyrolysis based products are increasing in demand and enabling the decarbonization of key industries like asphalt. At Vow Green Metals we are working on similar projects alongside key industrial partners in Norway to make use of the bio-oil produced from our production facilities 😎 #pyrolysis #biocarbon #greenindustry #biooil

In collaboration with Ørsted and Venterra Group, 1000OS member SeaAhead has published a groundbreaking report that explores innovative approaches to enhancing biodiversity in the offshore wind industry. 💨🌊 The report covers over 2,000 ocean-related startups, identifying 150 key players that are pioneering solutions to reduce operational impacts on marine life, restore natural habitats, and advance ocean data collection. It unveils how to transition to a net-positive industry and recognizes the role of 22 solutions innovating for biodiversity in offshore wind energy, including start-ups supported by 1000OS members SeaAhead, UpLink - World Economic Forum , Sustainable Ocean Alliance, Katapult Ocean, and Builders Vision. ⚡️ Notable startups featured in the report include Aloft Systems, Aquatic Labs, HydroNet, ITHACA CLEAN ENERGY, SeaTrac Systems, Inc., SEATREC, Stream Ocean, WSENSE, Whale Seeker, ARC Marine®, and PlanBlue. 📈 As the offshore wind industry experiences rapid growth, with a 15% increase in 2023 alone, it proves how vital it is to navigate the complexities of regulatory environments, stakeholder conflicts, and data operability. This report provides actionable insights for startups and stakeholders to overcome these challenges and support the industry's sustainable evolution. 📌 Dive into the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eB869Zzx #1000OceanStartups #OffshoreWind #Biodiversity #Innovation #SustainableEnergy #MarineConservation #SeaAhead #OceanStartups
