The startup 52 Hertz aims to revolutionize diving by making it safer, more efficient, and more immersive. Its innovation, the Talky-Divy, is a regulator mouthpiece that integrates a microphone and bone-conduction hearing aids, connected to a unit that houses transmission and reception technologies, as well as a signal-processing algorithm that improves voice intelligibility. Compatible with standard diving gear, it addresses a real need for communication while underwater.

ADV Propulse is a French deeptech company developing innovative trochoidal marine thrusters for autonomous and crewed vessels. Our compact, highly maneuverable and low-noise technology offers an alternative to conventional propeller-based propulsion, combining strong performance at both low and high speeds with high energy efficiency. We provide propulsion systems for USVs and other marine platforms, as well as standalone 4–50 kW trochoidal thrusters for integration by manufacturers and system integrators. Our technology addresses both civilian and defense applications.

Agilica is a Belgian deep-tech company developing advanced positioning technology for autonomous systems operating where GNSS/GPS is unavailable, unreliable, jammed or spoofed. Our patented Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology provides resilient, decimetre-level local positioning for drones, robotics and other autonomous platforms. Agilica develops its hardware, firmware and positioning software in-house, enabling precise navigation, autonomous landing and asset tracking across defence, maritime, industrial and logistics applications. #PositioningEverywhere
