Eelume & Green Bay: Partnering for a Cleaner and More Sustainable Ocean Team Eelume are proud to announce our partnership with Green Bay, a key player in removal of lost fishing gear. This collaboration goes beyond operations—Green Bay is also a key development partner, contributing valuable insights and expertise to the evolution of our technology. 🌊 Why does this matter? Lost fishing gear poses a significant environmental challenge, impacting marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Green Bay has built an efficient system for detecting and removing these hidden threats. With their operational experience and deep knowledge of AUV missions, they play a crucial role in enhancing both underwater clean-up efforts and the next generation of autonomous marine technology. 🤝 How does Eelume contribute? Our All-Terrain AUVs bring a new dimension to underwater operations. Unlike traditional AUVs, which are limited in complex and challenging terrains, our technology enables us to: ✅ Locate and retrieve lost fishing gear in areas other AUVs cannot reach ✅ Improve knowledge of the seabed and underwater debris ✅ Enhance efficiency in marine cleanup operations ✅ Develop even more advanced and effective autonomous solutions by integrating Green Bay’s operational expertise into our product development 🚀 What’s next? The first missions under this partnership will take place in Q2 2025, marking a major step forward in deploying cutting-edge autonomy for ocean conservation. This project is not only significant for Norway but also represents an important step in a European context, showcasing how advanced autonomous systems can revolutionize marine cleanup and contribute to a more sustainable ocean environment. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey! 🌊 Images: Green Bay and Eelume #AllTerrainAUV #AI #AUV #ROV #GreenBay #Eelume #MarineCleanup #Collaboration #SustainableOceans #Innovation #Norway #AutonomousTechnology

For the third year, Ship Technology Days in Ulsteinvik was a great success! 🚢 This conference delves deeper into digitalization and autonomy from various perspectives, highlighting what is happening and the opportunities ahead. Ship Technology Days showcased the strength of collaboration across the industry—one of the key success factors in driving innovation. 💫 With contributions from Severin Sadjina, PhD (SINTEF Ocean), Alexandra Neyts (NTNU Faculty of Engineering /MIDAS), Jens Petter Nygård (NTNU Faculty of Engineering / MIDAS), Kristine Prøsch (Massterly (a Kongsberg Wilhelmsen joint venture), Sveinung Soma (Remota), Hendrik B. (Vard Electro), Nils Haktor Bua (Norwegian Maritime Authority), Ola Drange Veglo (DNV), Ken Rune Hellerud (Kongsberg Maritime), and André Listou Ellefsen, PhD (Dipai), we explored the power of remote-controlled navigation, data-driven decision-making, industry collaboration and more. A huge thank you to Ulstein Business Association and MAFOSS for their collaboration in making this possible. A special thanks to Kongsberg Maritime for being our dedicated supporter. We look forward to next year! 🚀 For more photos, visit the link in the comments below. #ShipTechnologyDays #MaritimeInnovation #Digitalization #Autonomy #MIDAS

🚁 Advancing Airborne Drones with Sensor Fusion In the world of drone technology, sensor fusion has emerged as a game-changer for airborne systems, enabling higher accuracy and more reliable performance. By combining data from various sensors—such as LiDAR, GPS, cameras, IMUs, and radar— drones can achieve enhanced situational awareness, even in challenging environments. Why is this important? 👀 Increased Precision: Sensor fusion allows drones to more accurately map terrain, detect obstacles, and navigate in GPS-denied areas (like indoors or in urban environments). Improved Safety: With real-time data integration, drones can make smarter decisions, improving their ability to avoid collisions and enhance overall safety. Enhanced Autonomy: By combining data from multiple sources, drones can operate more autonomously, reducing the need for human intervention and allowing them to perform more complex tasks. Are you working on sensor fusion for drones? Let’s connect! #DroneTechnology #SensorFusion #Aerospace #Innovation #Drones #AutonomousSystems

Innovasjon Norge etablerer seg i Kyiv – styrker norsk næringsliv i Ukraina For første gang etablerer Innovasjon Norge seg i Ukraina, og med det tar norsk næringsliv et viktig steg inn i et marked preget av både utfordringer og muligheter. – Jeg ser frem til å reise til Kyiv å ta fatt på jobben, sier ny landdirektør for Ukraina Ole Henæs. – Vi må raskt opp i fart, og det blir viktig å koble på eksisterende nettverk, sier han. Henæs bringer med seg verdifull erfaring fra både norsk forsvarsindustri og kommersielle virksomheter, og skal lede arbeidet med å støtte norske bedrifter i Ukraina. For forsvars- og sikkerhetsindustrien åpner etableringen av Innovasjon Norge i Ukraina nye muligheter for samarbeid og utveksling. NORDSEC - Nordic Defence and Security Cluster følger utviklingen tett og ser at det er økende interesse for norsk teknologi og løsninger innenfor forsvar og beredskap. RENERGY - Renewable Energy Cluster leder prosjektet EU-UA SUNRISE, som utvikler batteriløsninger, hybridnett og desentraliserte energisystemer for å sikre strømforsyning i et land hvor energiinfrastrukturen er under kontinuerlige angrep. Med Innovasjon Norges nye kontor i Kyiv vil også norske energiselskaper få sterkere støtte til å etablere samarbeid i Ukraina, bidra med teknologi og finansiering, og utvikle løsninger som både hjelper Ukraina og gir viktig læring for norsk energisektor. Ole Henæs begynner i stillingen i dag, 3. mars. #Ukraina #InnovasjonNorge
