Krassi Fotev - founder of 13 Mari
The Captain’s Table has been an exceptional accelerator and enabler for 13 Mari’s business. The forum provided access to the key industry contacts to further validate our product assumptions, attract investment and secure first clients. As a competition winner, it is also a great privilege to have the support of Lloyd’s Register and HFW.
Samyuktha Sriram - founder of Clear Robotics
We had the pleasure of attending The Captain’s Table event and were thoroughly impressed with the level of organization and the quality of the attendees. It was a great opportunity for us to showcase our product and learn from other industry leaders. We particularly appreciated the roundtable discussions, which allowed us to engage in meaningful conversations with other participants and gain valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in our industry. We look forward to attending future Captain’s Table events and continuing to build meaningful relationships with other like-minded professionals.

Jeroen van Heiningen - CEO of 123 Carbon
Participating in the Captain’s Table was an incredible experience. It was a unique opportunity for us to present 123Carbon in front of a large live audience of experienced Marine experts and get valuable and honest feedback. For one week, supported by a great team, we focused relentlessly on the core values of our company and the impact it needs to have on the bottom-line performance of our customers. During and after the finals, the Captain’s Table provided us easy access to a high-level network and allowed us to expand our reach to the APAC region with new customers and partners.

Calcarea
Accelerating the earth's natural solution to climate disruption
Calcarea’s technology helps reduce and remove carbon emissions by accelerating the Earth’s natural carbon cycle
Based on over a decade of research in leading oceanography and marine engineering laboratories at Caltech and USC, our team has developed a reactor based on the “Accelerated Weathering of Limestone”, which can be used to capture emissions from point sources and to safely store carbon captured from the atmosphere.
Calcarea’s technology is smaller, more efficient, and lower cost than today’s best available systems for Marine on-board carbon capture, and it eliminates the dependency on port infrastructure for handling of pure carbon dioxide.
Calcarea’s system takes captured carbon dioxide and converts it into oceanic bicarbonate which is stable, secure, and environmentally benign.
