BIOFABRIK

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

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.

Bionic System Solutions (BSS)

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.

Blue Armada Robotics Sp. z o.o.

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.
