Daphne Technology seeks financing through crowdfunding platform
Daphne Technology, a climate tech start-up which has designed and patented proven solutions to reduce air and sea pollution for ships, has partnered with Crowdcube, the world’s largest equity crowdfunding platform, to offer a stake in the company to the public.
According to Dr. Mario Michan, Founder & CEO Daphne Technology, the company has already raised EUR eight million, including funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (and other sources), but recognised demand from the public to support technologies that fight climate change.
“Daphne Technology is currently pursuing its second equity round to pilot test our solutions with leading shipowners,” he says. “For individuals who care about the environment and good returns, even a small investment in our company will make a big difference.”
Closing the safety gap in an era of transformation
Throughout its existence, the maritime industry has shown that it is capable of continuously transforming itself to improve efficiency and productivity, irrespective of the challenges along the way. The two ongoing transformations related to digitalization and decarbonization are having a major impact on future operations and collaboration in the industry. Digitalization is catalyzing the wider use of data, data-driven models and remote services in shipping. To manage the required transformation in decarbonization, new technologies and fuels are being leveraged. But for the transformation to be successful, there is one key question that needs to be answered: How capable is the industry of recognizing and managing the associated safety risks?
