looking to achieve operational efficiency gains and competitive advantages for organizations in the maritime sector and to reduce emissions and carbon footprint
Strong impetus via european and PRR funds
SEAPOWER will constantly participate in national and international consortiums for the development of R&D&I projects
Alignment with EU Green Deal targets:
55% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 (Fit for 55)
Existence of award-winning national SMEs
internationally recognized, and with reference products, but in order to achieve the necessary success, lack scale and means of research and product development Example: MARLO, Xsealence, IYB
Respond to the limited digital coverage in the sector
particularly in sectors such as maritime and intermodal transport, where a very substantial part of the processes are not digitalized.
Need for Capacity
The companies involved face a lack of talent and specific skills in certain areas, which can be filled through collaboration with entities such as the University of Coimbra
opinions
Testimonial
"MARLO has a deep history of innovation in the Sea economy, having developed and scaled several products in the international market. But a more sustainable and ambitious innovation, product development, and growth strategy can only be achieved through collaborative efforts with ENESIIs and other national companies, in the context of an institution like SEAPOWER."
"SEAPOWER will enable Xsealence to accelerate the realization of services and products
based on new scientific and technological knowledge, allowing us access to human means
and equipment that are fundamental to the innovative investment we have to make permanently."
