On the 17th of February, our Founder and CEO Sorina was selected as one of the six semi-finalists of the 2026 European Prize for Women Innovators in the EIT Women Leadership category, organised by the European Innovation Council and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.

This recognition is meaningful not only personally, but for what we are building. For many years, SDG14 – Life Below Water remained at the margins of innovation conversations in Europe. Seeing ocean innovation gaining visibility within Europe’s innovation ecosystem is incredibly encouraging.

Grateful to the Climate KIC and Women TechEU communities supporting our journey, and proud to stand alongside inspiring women innovators shaping the future.
