Not water, but stand out. This is the purpose of the competition, which was held for three years by Sud Ouest, Regional Council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Atlantic Cluster. It was organized in collaboration with BA2E and La Rochelle agglomeration, as well as the economic development agency of Arcachon Basin Val de l'Eyre. This competition is for innovative products and services, as well as projects. A sector with 1,600 companies in New Aquitaine or 25% of all French boating companies.
This sector is a buoyant one that must constantly reinvent itself to provide new services to customers and adapt to changing environmental conditions. BlueNav is a TPE from Arcachon that was created in 2020 by Thomas Frouin and Herve. It's an axis where they borrowed money to create an electric motor that can be added to any heat engine system.
BlueNav, a candidate for the 2021 Trophies was a standout at the Arcachon Boat Show and charmed the Jury of the Paris Boat Show National Final. It gave us a national image. Thomas Frouin says that while we were still in the prototyping phase, and were seeking funds, our investors were open to us."
To try to follow in their footsteps and join the companies already selected at the Arcachon Boating Show, innovators must apply by registering before September 18 by email to the following address communication@sudouest.fr or on the web here.
The companies selected will present their product or project in just three minutes to a jury during the 50th Grand Pavois de La Rochelle (September 27, to October 2, at the Tribord research-development center). Which projects will be joining Lalou Multi and Woo Outrigger, Ibaia Boats, and CIA at the Paris final in December?
