Oneka Technologies envisions a future where fresh water will be accessible to a greater number of individuals without negatively impacting the health of our planet. Wave energy, or energy derived from wave movements, is the potential energy stored in the ocean swells. This energy is dense, renewable, highly predictable and ever present. Using this green energy to process sea water into fresh water affordably, results in zero greenhouse gases being emitted. Oneka Technologies offer a variety of solutions to meet a wide range of water needs: resorts to small communities (Iceberg-class) and water-intensive industries to larger coastal municipalities (Glacier-class). Oneka is a Canadian company that engineers, finances, installs, maintains and operates 100% mechanical desalination buoys to deliver fresh water to its clients, using only the energy of the ocean swells.

PierSight Space is building a constellation of All weather imaging satellites for persistent ocean surveillance. With our satellite constellation, we will be able to create dynamic maps of all human activity at sea i.e. all ships, icebergs and offshore oil rigs will always be in front of our eyes with a refresh rate of every 30 minutes. This helps in solving the Illegal Unreported Unregulated(IUU) Fishing problem ( $4Bn Problem), Detect and Support cleanup efforts for Oil Spills in Oceans as well as help reduce emissions by helping ships navigate through complex waterways.

INVERSA builds supply chains for invasive species to produce Invasive leather for the fashion industry. The company currently manages 3 invasive species - lionfish, carp, and python - to tackle the harm caused by two problems: biodiversity loss and fashion. The UN has declared invasive species a top 5 driver of biodiversity loss. Today, invasives drive 60% of species extinctions and $423 billion/year in economic damages, undermining ecosystem health and climate resilience. Separately, the $4T fashion industry is the world’s 2nd-largest polluter, driving deforestation, biodiversity loss, and 10% of global GHG emissions. With one supply chain, INVERSA offers 2 solutions to tackle invasive species and prevent the harm they cause in global ecosystems: invasive species management services for state governments and sustainable luxury leathers for fashion brands. To date, the company has removed over 50,000 invasive animals, restoring ecosystems throughout the U.S. and Caribbean.

Seagrass and coral habitats are rapidly declining worldwide. Reefgen has developed multiple robotic nearshore restoration platforms to plant coral and seagrasses, with the ability to develop the required 30x-75x productivity- rate enhancements over manual planting necessary for humankind to meet the challenge of restoring our coastal life support ecosystems.

Ittinsect is a biotech startup that developed a sustainable alternative protein ingredient, both from the environmental and economic standpoint. Ittinsect produces high performance feed ingredients through the biotechnological treatment of novel raw ingredients including insects, microalgae and agricultural by-products, in line with the circular economy principles. A fish raised with Ittinsect-based feeds has a healthier digestion and improved growth performance at no extra cost for the fish farmer. With Ittinsect, there is no longer need to catch fish from the marine environment as nutrition for farmed fish.

FlexSea develops novel seaweed derived biomaterials to replace single use plastics in various verticals. Their truly home-compostable materials are derived from naturally occurring seaweed biopolymers from widely cultivated red seaweed strains.

TONTOTON is an environmental impact program focused on collecting and treating mismanaged, hard-to-recycle plastic in highly polluted coastal villages of Cambodia. Their mission is to reduce plastic leakage through plastic action financing while promoting waste segregation in households and businesses and collecting mismanaged plastic on the ocean-bound. TONTOTON operates its material recovery facility for sorting and processing plastic into building materials and plastic boards. The boards are used to build classrooms and house repairs in disadvantaged communities.

uWare Robotics is taking the aerial drone revolution underwater to protect our oceans and secure our future. uWare is a European dual-use startup that builds autonomous underwater solutions so that any blue industry can have the data necessary for sustainable operations.  Port activities and offshore renewable energy are crucial to our sustainable future. They are skyrocketing and need underwater data to manage their activities and protect their assets. Yet, current solutions for underwater data are cumbersome, dangerous and expensive.  uWare’s end-to-end solution of fully autonomous underwater drones and accompanying AI-based data processing makes underwater data safe, efficient and affordable.  A vision that is backed by first customers such as Fraunhofer Smart Ocean technologies, the Oceanographic Institutes of Spain and Portugal, Marine Inspection companies Créocean and Seaviews as well as defense consortia in critical infrastructure inspection. uWare has also been welcomed into prestigious blue economy networks such as the Sustainable Ocean Alliance Ecopreneurs and the EU BlueInvest program. 

Stream Ocean's mission is to help anyone working in the ocean to monitor their impact on marine biodiversity.
