Yara Marine X - Accelerator for Startups within Sustainable Maritime Sector

We believe that in order to ensure a healthy planet for future generations and make a real sustainable impact, we must think outside of the box and team up with fresh minds and creative ideas from around the world.

Ultimately exploring partnership opportunities, possible investments, and a collaborative future with us and our network.

We believe to have an actual impact, we must take tangible actions that will enable this change toward a greener maritime industry. And part of the solution is fostering startups that recognize the urgency to decarbonize the maritime industry.
