Revisiting a Swedish maritime startup, now noted on NASDAQ

Antifouling coatings are necessary to protect a ship’s hull from attaching marine organisms. Ship owners need marine coating solutions that deliver fouling prevention for vessels with differing activity levels, shipping routes and construction. 

Selektope® is a unique biocide that, through biotechnology, creates the possibility of more sustainable and efficient marine paint systems.
When attached to a ship’s hull, barnacles harm the hydrodynamic drag. The hard shells cause increased friction between the hull and water, directly related to increased fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Listen to Philip Chaabane, the CEO of i-tech, when he describes the journey for this maritime startup. There are so many lessons learned that he shares!
