Consortium Partners of
Fish-X

Strength in collaboration, moving towards a common goal!

The Fish-X Project is being implemented by the seven European organisations, called consortium partners including TransMarTech Schleswig-Holstein (TMT, Germany), EU Tech Chamber (EUTECH, Germany), Collecte Localisation Satellites (CLS, France), North.io (Germany), Sciaena (Portugal), OURZ (Germany) and WWF EPO (Belgium). Each agency has specific responsibilities related to the Fish-X Project and they will continue to work jointly throughout the tenure of the project to achieve the common goals.

TransMarTech Schleswig-Holstein GmbH

TransMarTech (TMT) sees itself as an incubator for maritime innovations and maritime technologies. We encourage the development of innovations through technology transfer from maritime and marine sciences. We rely on interdisciplinary teams from science and business. We believe that new business models and products in the maritime economy can emerge when applying the transfer of technologies and basic research from universities and research institutes to industry. The Global Goals for Sustainable Development of the UN Decade are decisive for our actions in the process of product and business model development – TransMarTech focuses on SDG 14. Our goal is to enable technology-driven innovations and the development of products, services and systems from Schleswig-Holstein that make life by and in the sea sustainably better.

To do this, we are connecting innovative minds from science and business, people with outstanding ideas, special expertise and passion.

WWF Adria is a regional office, consisting of 7 countries: Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo and Northern Macedonia. We’d like to see key species, habitats and ecosystems protected and recovering, with good governance systems in place, enabling sustainable management and equitable use of natural resources. Of course, nothing can be done without major transformation in business practices towards sustainability and corporate and social responsibility. And, speaking of partners, we want to see civil society informed, educated and empowered to engage in environmental stewardship and decision-making.

OURZ is a software start-up form Flensburg, Germany founded in 2021 that connects sustainable consumption with the production of food.
 
The food & beverage industry is responsible for a third of global emissions, it is the main driver of deforestation around the world, it is seriously threatening the condition of our oceans and it is built on the exploitation of animals & humans. Things have to change! More and more companies take up their responsibility to positively transform the industry, while consumers increasingly demand sustainable products.
 
OUR(Z) mission is to empower quality- and sustainability- oriented producers, manufacturers and consumers to change our world for the better. Through our blockchain-based platform, we have taken on the fight against the lack of transparency within the food & beverage industry. By providing direct and unalterable insights into the history of products, OURZ enables sustainable companies to differentiate themselves from their (greenwashing) competitors and provides sustainability conscious consumers with the information they need to shape a better world through their actions.
 
In short: OURZ is dedicated to unveiling the true value 
(or cost) of products, enabling the sustainable transformation of the food & beverage industry and to making our world OURZ again.
