After Sea

Les saken på norsk This week Ocean Autonomy Cluster hosted After-Sea, an informal networking event for members, partners, and anyone interested in ocean industries. The event took place at HAVET in Trondheim and brought together actors from across the maritime innovation ecosystem. The goal of After-Sea was to strengthen connections, share insights, and provide updates on ongoing initiatives and available opportunities within ocean technology. Participants received news from Fremtidens Industri’s project portfolio and learned more about programs offered through Ocean Autonomy Cluster, Maritime Forum, Testination, ESA BIC, and Ocean Space Incubator.

New initiatives, new members, and new calls The program featured updates on how Ocean Autonomy Cluster is developing new service packages for its members, as well as its process toward achieving Norwegian Innovation Cluster status. Participants also heard firsthand experiences from companies in XLRTR, a business development program focused on dual-use technologies with promotion of the upcoming fall cohort. ESA BIC shared how the incubator supports startups through funding and business development, with a reminder of the next application deadline on September 1. Maritime Forum introduced its new leader and outlined future plans. Attendees also got to meet some of the cluster’s newest member companies including Kadabra. Espen Jørgensen, Kadabra.
