During Arendalsuka, we, along with ITS Norway, will host a breakfast seminar to discuss the digitalization and automation of sea-based transport and the lack of prioritization of maritime routes in the National Transport Plan (NTP). By leveraging our strong maritime expertise, Norway can and should position itself more strongly in this development. But are we lacking ambition and failing to see the horizon?

This trial proved how combining satellite imaging, aerial support, and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) can provide an effective surveillance and monitoring system. The trial started with satellite imaging, which allowed for the detection of unidentified objects heading towards a restricted maritime area. This early warning system prompted the use of aerial support to investigate further. By combining data from satellites with visuals from aircraft, potential risks can be identified before posing any significant danger. Upon detection of any suspicious activity, the Maritime Robotics' uncrewed surface vessel is deployed to conduct a more comprehensive examination of the area. Using advanced sonar technology, the USV carefully maps out the underwater area of the restricted zone in search of potential hidden hazards. This detailed mapping not only ensures safety but also revealed the precise location and depth of the unidentified object. The USV also launches a specially designed underwater drone for closer inspection. This drone provides live video footage, giving operators a clear vision of the unidentified object on the seabed. Thanks to the accurate geolocation abilities of these technologies, informed decisions can be made quickly in response to potential threats.

It's important for companies to assess their own vulnerability and what measures they need to implement to protect their assets, says Frost-Nielsen. He recommends companies to be both vigilant and proactive. The most important security work is what the companies themselves must do. Many businesses possess assets, knowledge, and information that are of great interest to foreign states, and PST gladly invites companies to a dialogue about the security situation. Senior Adviser Martin Blom from the Ministry of Defence informed about the long-term plan for the Defence, and what the significant investments that are forthcoming could entail in terms of opportunities for the business sector.

BESSY is an autonomous floating battery energy plattform, a floating autonomus powerbank. When fully charged the vessel will automaticly return to shore and decharge into a landbased station or a mobile station. BESSY is a fully autonomous vessel, unmanned and energy self sufficient. BESSY uses advanced AI weather and routing models to optimice production and transport of the collected energy. Bessy receives predictive data and real time data from a large number of sources - this is combined with machine learning from her own experience Bessy's founder, Kristian Osestad, brings a wealth of experience to the table. With a background in communications and a deep passion for the ocean and energy, he established Ocean Marine AS in 2022 and has been steadily developing Bessy ever since. His daily work is at HPC Nordic AS, with green initiatives in power, IT, and data centers, while also exploring AI projects and power production. Kristian's passion for sustainable energy extends to Bessy, a company pioneering yacht-based energy storage for cleaner, small-scale power at sea. Addressing Energy Challenges BESSY addresses two critical energy challenges: the need for increased energy storage and the desire to reduce reliance on expensive and lengthy power cables. By enabling small-scale energy production at sea, Bessy can empower local communities with access to clean and affordable energy. BESSY's unique system combines energy harvesting, storage, and distribution within a compact and autonomous unit housed on a yach, Osestad says. This innovative technology taps into the vast energy potential of the sea, utilizing both wind and wave power more efficiently than land-based alternatives. BESSY runs on two electric motors and will automatically relocate within a framework to optimize wind and solar production. The vessel can also operate in a stand still, as long as needed utilizing the electric engines acting as a trolling motor. The main energy source will be tilted solar. The vessel will relocate to find sun within a framework/best conditions - and will also adjust during daylight to optimize the beams. Also the panels will tilt automatically to have the best angel towards the light. BESSY has two wing sails for using wind as propulsion. Joining Forces for Ocean Autonomy BESSy's membership in OAC marks a significant step forward for the company. OAC provides an ideal platform for Bessy to connect with industry leaders, share expertise, and collaborate on advancing ocean autonomy technologies, Osestad says.

The fund has a total size of 1 billion euros over 15 years and invests in technologies that could be crucial in future military operations. The Norwegian share is approximately 400 million Norwegian kroner. Recently, a number of Trondheim's ocean technology companies have received visits from the fund. They exclusively invest in research-based startups in deep tech, aiming to be a significant source of investment for Norway's high-tech industry. Visit at Oceantech Innovation. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster Can create at least 1000 more jobs Our mission is capacity building, to build local capacity within 'deep tech', says Thorsten Claus, who leads NIF's fund-of-funds platform in NATO's Innovation Fund. If there is indeed a cluster of interest that we can finance, where we have startups that we can fund, it will create a gravity like an accelerator. This will automatically create at least 1000 more jobs in the region, he says. Not only that, it will be a huge inspiration for everyone working at the university to see that there is a career path in 'dual use of deep tech' and ocean technology, says Claus. The visit is an important contribution to positioning the technology community in Trondheim, says Anders Aune at NTNU Technology Transfer. We get to showcase that we have an area where we have incredibly exciting research and knowledge-based startups that can be attractive for NATO's Innovation Fund. Anders Aune, NTNU Technology Transfer. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster We particularly want to showcase an area where Norway and Trondheim excel, which is ocean technology. Here, we have around twenty to thirty startup companies and some major end customers, as well as larger players like Kongsberg Group. We have also been able to demonstrate that we have infrastructure and facilities for testing both in labs, visually and digitally, and physical testing in pools, ports, and fjords, says Aune.

The most important thing we've seen today is the phenomenal collaboration. NIF only invests in great teams, and teamwork is, of course, a matter of collaboration. What we've seen today are perfect examples: How many startup companies exchange ideas and technologies and find commercial engagement with each other? They share customer information. They share experiences about the customers, how they buy, what they buy, and when they buy. Oh, man, that’s gold. That’s amazing!
