Your pitch & Vision

Imagine harnessing the untapped potential of our oceans to fuel the global energy revolution. Picture this: extracting vital minerals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt directly from the sea and ocean waters.

Problem/Opportunity

Electrification of the economy requires batteries, electric engines, wind turbines, and the development of electric grids. This created demand for rare earths such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper. The problem is that land mining is environmentally damaging, unreliable, and has low deposits.

Solution & Product

The world's oceans hold about 70 times more cobalt than land, and with sustainable technologies like passive adsorption, we can collect this precious resource. Imagine a specialized sponge designed to soak up these essential elements, making it possible to gather them effortlessly.

Validation of Problem

According to publicly available data, global demand for cobalt grew from 112.000t to 170.000t between 2019 and 2023, and demand for lithium grew from 29.500t to 180.000t between 2016 and 2023.

Competition & Competitive Advantage

A major competitor is land mining which is extremely environmentally destructive, politically dependent and unstable, and has low deposits. The other competitor which is recycling cannot supply all the resources necessary for energy transformation.

Team & Why Us

Our team is two: Marcin Górnicki - an entrepreneur with 15 years of experience and assistant Helena Zglenicka technically and research-focused student.
