Supported by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, ESA NanoTech, Bombardier, MB92 Group, Skytopia, Plus Marine, Italian Yacht Masters, Alcenza Properties and Raunautica, the awards recognized three companies at different stages of growth. Kolbev, in the development stage, was recognized for a mobile robotic charging solution designed to allow marinas to serve electric boats without immediately investing in large fixed charging infrastructure. “We started with electric vehicle charging and then we saw a big need for the marinas and marina electrification due to regulation in Switzerland, in Germany on the lakes, as well as the sustainability effort and we extended our offering from the EV charging to marinas,” explained Jakub Kwapisz, ceo at Kolbev.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.In the post-revenue category, The Warming Surfaces Company, from Finland, was recognized for heated surfaces designed to maintain comfort while reducing energy consumption. The award for companies in the growing-revenue stage went to Italian company Seares, whose SeaDamp technology addresses one of the practical challenges of marina operations: stabilising boats and floating infrastructure. The hydraulic damping system absorbs energy generated by waves and water movement, reducing dynamic loads and stress on mooring lines.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

The professional architecture award went to German practice Jasper Architects. “Our proposal for Opatija Marina in Croatia connects the existing place, the existing city with a historic sidewalk to the new marina”, said Florian Alles. The Architecture Coup de Coeur went to Francesco Gruni of the University of Pavia. The two competitions reflected the objective of the Rendezvous, as explained by M3 Monaco CEO José Marco Casellini: “The goal is to discover and to award always the best innovative solution production bringing sustainability on the table.” The Awards were designed to connect innovators with marina operators, investors and industry players, helping turn new technologies and design approaches into practical solutions for the marinas of tomorrow.For more information:Press Office LaPresse – ufficio.stampa@lapresse.itThis advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
