Can we combine the best of several clusters into one supercluster❓ Yes, and that’s exactly why we’ve initiated Blått Kvantesprang Energi (Blue Quantum Leap Energy)! Today, we gathered 65 leaders to discuss how this initiative can accelerate exports and the energy transition in the ocean industries. We discussed that we are in dire need of fewer regulations, more action and industry-building projects❗️ Our forum provided concrete ideas and solutions that we will take forward to unlock the full potential of Blått Kvantesprang Energi. A big thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the discussions🙌 Get in touch to connect with the initiative!

We need to get better at scaling in Norway! We have enormous opportunities within our ocean industries, but to succeed, we need to learn from the best and build an ecosystem that facilitates growth. That is why we are collaborating with Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship in Boston, to bring international expertise into our growth program. We are now opening for a new round of the Ocean Tech Scaling Program, where we support eight companies with ambitions to scale their solutions. Would you like to apply to join the fall 2025 program? Contact Owe Hagesæther - oh@gceocean.no to learn more. Organised with ScalingLab - supported by Agenda Vestlandet 🎥 Bill Aulet and Devon Sherman Daley #getshipdone

Come with us on a site visit to Reach Subsea in Haugesund (10 spots left). We invite you to a site visit and seminar 5 December, where you'll learn more about how remote operations reduce emissions and increase value for customers. Reach Remote is a 24-meter-long, unmanned surface vessel (USV), equipped with a work-class remotely operated underwater robot (ROV). Development has been ongoing since 2019, and two vessels are now ready for operation. Reach Remote was awarded the title of "Ship of the Year 2024." 🥇 At this seminar, you'll hear experiences from the project and learn how partners and customers work together to realize new opportunities in remote operations and autonomy. 🔗 Link to registration in commentary section.

Wanted🕵️♂️: People working within autonomy and remote operations – Join our new resource group. We are now establishing a resource group within autonomy and remote operations to foster innovation and strengthening collaboration. The work and scope of the group will be based on your input, and we envision to cover topics and activities such as: ✔Identification of topics that can provide basis for joint projects ✔Input and feedback to our cluster activities and priorities ✔Input to national strategies, work programmes and funding schemes ✔Courses, seminars and site-visits to build and share knowledge Our meetings will be held digitally, with physical meetings held primarily when linked to seminars. The group will be open to employees from partners and member companies of GCE Ocean Technology. Send an e-mail to Jon O.

Hjemme igjen etter en svært inspirerende uke på Martin Trust Centre of Entrepreneurship ved Massachusetts Institute of Technology i Boston. Dette er endel av GCE Ocean Technology sitt skaleringsprogram støttet av Agenda Vestlandet, stiftelsen fra Sparebanken Vest. I alt 8 bedrifter fra bergensregionen deltar. Har lært svært mye på 4 intense dager, fra ett av de beste miljøene for entreprenørskap i verden. ✅ 69% av alle studentbedrifter startet på MIT overlever de første 5 år ✅ Rammeverkene «disiplined enterepreneurship» og «start up tactics». 24 steg for å lykkes som start-up (sjekk bøkene!) ✅ Start analysen med markedet, ikke før steg 7 begynner man å snakke om produktet ✅ Tilgang til MIT sitt AI-verktøy som hjelper deg i gang med å lage en forretningsmodell for din ide. Thank you, Bill Aulet and Paul Cheek for a truly inspirering week at MIT! Huge amount of take-aways to speed up Innovation in the west coast of Norway 🇺🇸🇳🇴 Takk også til Owe Hagesæther, Bjarte Fageraas og teamet i GCE Ocean technology og ScalingLab. Nå starter jobben med anvende kunnskapen og å få fart på nyskapingen på Vestlandet, god helg!
