THE ECO-NAVIGATION & SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS AREA AT GRAND PAVOIS LA ROCHELLE: OVER 50 EXHIBITORS AND HIGHLIGHTS

The ecological transition in the nautical sector is growing exponentially. The Grand Pavois La Rochelle, a showcase for the sector’s major trends, has for several years emphasized the actions proposed by all the sector’s professionals and institutions.

An Eco-navigation & Sustainable Innovations area with EDF and over 50 exhibitors

From the very start of the show, visitors will be able to discover a dedicated area featuring fifty companies and start-ups. This area, which will be divided into 2 sections, will showcase products either on land or afloat. A major advantage for the twenty or so boats presented afloat is that some will be directly available for sea trials.

Boats with electric or hybrid engines, electro-solar catamarans, recharging stations for harbors, electric thrusters and motors, eco-designed teak decks, ecological antifoulings, reconditioning shipyards, possibilities for converting thermal boats to electric and hybrid, dismantling of pleasure boats, architects and design offices, etc.: so many solutions to discover during the 6 days of the show!

Start-ups in the spotlight in the “Innovations Durables avec EDF” space and on the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region stand

Initiated in 2019, this partnership with EDF aims to present the new solutions that are or will be tomorrow in the boating industry. As a player in the energy transition, EDF defends and encourages eco-design, and proposes that companies evolve their socio-economic model by bringing in new functions and thinking around new uses. This space within the space will be dedicated to start-ups working for the nautical industry. Note the presence of : Awad (vessel propulsion box), Beyond the Sea (traction wings for vessels), Héole (organic solar sailcloth for sailing boats), Hy Géneration (electric propulsion), Kitewinder (electricity production from renewable sources), Maloric (traction wings for vessels), Sail’in Box (maritime transport under sail) and Weenav (conversion of combustion engine boats to electric/hybrid power).

Three start-ups will also be present at the Espace Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine: Lepty (aluminum batteries to increase the autonomy of electric boats), Vela (electric boat manufacturer) and Watt & Boat (cargo sailboat owners).
