The Entrepreneurial Grant is awarded to Trondheim-based startup companies and innovation projects in their early stages. The winners are selected by the board of the Adolf Øien Foundation, in consultation with an independent expert jury, after tough competition with around thirty applicants. The grant was presented during the region's largest business event, Manifestation 2024, organized by the Trondheim Region Business Association. Andreas Mauritzen and Fredrik Lilleøkdal from Ocean Access received the grant from Gry Haug Binde, CEO of the Adolf Øien Foundation. The Entrepreneurial Grant is about much more than just money. Equally important is the recognition that comes with it, she says. Photo: Maren Terese Forsbakk/Lykt Monitoring is the common denominator These are entrepreneurs and companies that have taken significant risks and are in the phase often referred to as the 'Valley of Death'. I believe that those of us around them have one important task: to cheer them on! Remember, these are the top 3 out of 30 exceptionally talented people and companies who applied, representing some of the best minds and talents in this region, says Binde. Gry Haug Binde, Adolf Øiens Fond. Photo: Maren Terese Forsbakk/Lykt Monitoring is the common denominator for this year's winners. Ocean Access is not the first to offer remote monitoring at sea, but with their submersible buoy, they have developed a solution that works in harmony with the elements, says Gry Haug Binde. Exciting technology companies In addition to Ocean Access, two other exciting technology companies also received this year’s Entrepreneurial Grant. In-Motion Technologies has developed a tool for the early and precise detection of symptoms of cerebral palsy in newborns. Aimses has developed a smart sensor that can monitor the health of electric machines in everything from wind farms to cars and airplanes – detecting faults before they occur. Ocean Access is a member of both the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and FI Ocean Space Incubator. Winners of the Adolf Øien Entrepreneurial Grant 2024.

The Entrepreneurial Grant was established in 2009, and through our donations, we aim to support entrepreneurial ventures and innovative projects that have the potential to become tomorrow's growth companies. The requirement for recipients is that the business must be founded by individuals who have completed a master’s degree in economics and/or technology – primarily from NTNU – and that the business concept has the potential to create a ripple effect in the Trondheim region.

After several years of various summer jobs, Simen sought a new challenge. He discovered Skarv Technologies, an innovative, relatively new company developing autonomous underwater drones in Trondheim. Despite there being no advertised positions, Simen took the initiative and emailed CEO Trygve Olav Fossum, which led to an interview and an agreement for a summer internship. Skarv Technologies is a technology provider specializing in the development and delivery of sensing solutions tailored for underwater applications. They build and deliver robotic platforms, positioning, autonomy, data analysis, and associated cloud services for better insights and decision From Design to Testing Throughout the summer, Simen was responsible for the design of an upcoming product, an opportunity that allowed him to leverage his background in materials technology and product development. He was given the freedom to be creative while adhering to specific requirements related to geometry, production methods, and materials. This experience was a perfect fit for Simen, providing him with valuable insight into how theoretical knowledge is applied in practice. In addition to design work, Simen participated in vessel testing and other varied tasks, giving him broad experience in the maritime technology sector. Simen Flåtter Flo is former leader of Propulse NTNU has now had an summer internship at Skarv Technologies. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster Freedom and Trust: The Key to Success The team at Skarv placed great trust in Simen, giving him the freedom to structure his workday independently. This autonomy was crucial for Simen, as he was also heavily involved in the student organization Propulse NTNU, working on the rocket project Valemon. The ability to balance his passion for rocket development with his summer job at Skarv made the summer an unforgettable experience. Through this balance, Simen gained a deeper understanding of the maritime industry, particularly seabed exploration—a field he was previously unfamiliar with but now finds deeply fascinating.

The Value of Summer Interns Skarv Technologies CEO Trygve Olav Fossum emphasizes the value of bringing in summer interns. Since the company’s founding in 2019, they have successfully recruited students from NTNU, especially in the fields of cybernetics, marine engineering, and electronic systems. Trygve highlights that summer interns bring unique skills and fresh perspectives that enhance the company's development processes. During the summer, the interns have contributed creative solutions to concrete challenges, and several of the ideas we’ve taken forward have come from their work, Trygve says. The fresh perspectives they offer give us new insights and opportunities to test ideas in practice. It also allows us to build relationships with potential future colleagues.

We are especially proud of the world championship victory since Navier USN had the fewest students and the lowest level of education, bachelor's degree., Sara Ajzenhamer-Selnes says. She is project manager for Navier USN. We are impressed with the excellent organization of Njord Challenge 2024 and look forward to seeing its further development in 2025., Ajzenhamer-Selnes says. During the competition, the USN students generously shared their entire dataset with all the participating teams. Sara Ajzenhamer-Selnes, Navier USN. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster The Njord Challenge is an excellent meeting place where we can share knowledge, experiences, and gain new perspectives across borders., says project manager Markus Marstad. Aleksander Nordmo is technical lead and one of Navier USN's founders. He says: Participating in Njord gave us a concrete goal to work towards. We received clear guidelines and strong support from the organizers throughout the process. We also competed in the Njord Challenge last year, but we didn’t perform as well as we did this year. That experience ignited a fire within us. By systematically identifying our strengths and weaknesses, along with exploring opportunities we were interested in, we developed an overarching technical strategy that provided the foundation we needed for victory. Part of a larger network We at Navier are very excited to join OAC, says Ajzenhamer-Selnes . This allows us to be part of a larger network where we can contribute new knowledge, offer unique insights from a student perspective, and help shape the future of ocean autonomy for Norway and the world. We believe that autonomous systems will play a key role in addressing many of the challenges our society faces, and we are eager to ride this wave of innovation!, Ajzenhamer-Selnes says.

Summer intern Hans-Marius Øverås has contributed to enhancing the data platform that visualizes the data collected by the buoy. It's incredibly fun and interesting to work with a physical product, says Hans-Marius Øverås. He is a 5th-year master's student in computer science at NTNU and has been a summer intern at Ocean Access. He has been responsible for developing the data platform that stores and visualizes the data transmitted from the buoy. My task has involved programming for both data storage and secure communication between the buoy and shore, Hans-Marius explains. Advanced Underwater Drone Ocean Access's product is a combination of an underwater drone and an ocean buoy. It can move within the water column and perform various tasks, such as measuring oxygen levels and water quality around fish farms. The buoy can move up and down in the water column while collecting data. This provides a better data foundation than solutions that only gather data from a single point, says Fredrik Lilleøkdal, Technical Lead and one of the co-founders of Ocean Access. The buoy can also serve as a communication carrier that can remain hidden underwater while communicating with submarines, divers, and external sensors. Valuable Learning Beyond the Curriculum Hans-Marius Øverås has worked part-time for Ocean Access for two years alongside his studies. With funding from MIDAS, his summer internship has become a full-time engagement. Working at a startup is unique. I've been involved in various aspects of buoy development and explored areas that go beyond what we typically learn in our studies. I greatly appreciate that experience. Despite being a student, Hans-Marius has been given a broad range of responsibilities. Hans-Marius has been a valuable addition to the team, contributing to accelerating the project's development. We are grateful that the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and the MIDAS project provided us with the opportunity to bring Hans-Marius on board, says Fredrik Lilleøkdal. MIDAS Project Facilitates The MIDAS project has made it possible for Hans-Marius to be involved in the company's development. By involving students in development work, the company gains access to new, creative competencies that they might not have had otherwise. This not only strengthens the company's innovation capabilities but also creates a more attractive workplace. The project with Ocean Access is a great example for others in the industry to follow, says Alexandra Neyts, who leads the MIDAS project. Incubator Company Ocean Access is a member of the FI Ocean Space Incubator and has received support with both business development and advice on capital raising. “Ocean Access is an exciting startup to work with. It’s great to see them utilizing students as a resource, and, most importantly, that students gain valuable experience from the industry,” says Ingrid Sandnes, who leads FI Ocean Space Incubator.
