Strengthening Europe’s maritime competitiveness and sustainability


Maritime sectors are central to Europe’s economy, strengthening transport, trade, energy, tourism and industrial ecosystems. As global trade volumes grow and environmental targets tighten, maritime operators and technology providers must innovate to improve efficiency, reduce emissions as well as enhance safety and resilience. At the same time, renewable materials and digitalisation are transforming vessel designs, port operations, supply chains and offshore systems. 

Maritime innovation enables the transition towards cleaner, smarter and more resilient operations. From decarbonisation technologies and advanced propulsion to digital optimisation and autonomous systems, new approaches are redefining how maritime systems operate. Successful scaling of these innovations requires alignment between technical feasibility, regulatory compliance, funding strategy and collaborative capability across sectors. 

Public funding programmes play a vital role in advancing maritime innovation by enabling cross-border collaboration, technology validation and industrial deployment. Combining strategic insight with execution support positions organisations to access funding and build ecosystems that deliver real-world impact. 

Who do we work with?


We work with organisations across the maritime value chain to turn ambitious ideas into funded and impactful innovation projects. Our experts can support shipbuilders, shipowners, ports and terminals, offshore developers, technology providers, research organisations and public authorities in finding solutions for maritime innovation.


Engagements range from early feasibility and technology development to pilots, demonstrations and industrial rollouts. Maritime projects are typically delivered in multi-partner settings where operational requirements, safety standards, environmental goals and funding instruments all influence project design and success.

How can we help you?


We help you crystallise your opportunity and business case, build a technically credible and commercially sound project and identify the right partners for the project. We prepare competitive funding proposals aligned with relevant EU and national funding calls and help secure the funding required to move from pilot to industrial deployment. 

In case of a successfully funded project, we can guide your Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) process and provide coordination support to the consortium to keep timelines, compliance and results on track.
