IMAR and Greenov receive $25,000 In2novation Award to further develop Subsea Quieter

Green Marine supporter Innovation Maritime (IMAR), and Greenov, a new Green Marine partner based in Nantes, France, have received one of the 2024 In2novation Awards. The $25,000 OceanTech prize will support their collaboration in developing Subsea Quieter, a membrane technology to reduce the harmful effects of underwater noise and turbidity generated by maritime coastal work such as pile driving.

The Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche in France and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada  are jointly funding the In2novation Awards program to strengthen innovative R&D collaboration between the two nations. 

A jury selected the recipients. The grant funding will be provided to these collaborators over 18 months. It will enable IMAR to consolidate its ties with Greenov for SubSea Quieter’s development.
