Overview

Innovamare Technologies was founded in 2025 as a spin-off of the Digital Innovation Hub Innovamare, with a mission to revolutionize marine operations through sustainable innovation. With roots in Croatia’s maritime tradition and a vision for the future, we developed autonomous surface vessels and advanced monitoring systems that help protect our oceans and empower the Blue Economy. Our multidisciplinary team works at the intersection of AI, robotics, and marine science — driven by purpose, proven through real-world testing, and committed to long-term impact.

15+ real-world test sites established across the Adriatic.

350+ Blue Economy stakeholders engaged through DIH Innovamare.

First Croatian autonomous surface vessel developed and deployed.

Awarded 'Blue Champion' by the European Commission & EIB.

Transforming Ocean Monitoring with Faust V.

Launched as part of the Innovamare initiative, Faust V is more than a prototype — it's a breakthrough in real-world marine technology. Built entirely by Croatian experts, the vessel integrates AI, LIDAR, sonar, and sustainable propulsion to deliver precise, autonomous marine data collection. Through continuous sea quality analysis, illegal activity detection, and ecosystem surveillance, Faust V is enabling public institutions, environmental agencies, and research centers to make faster, data-driven decisions in coastal management.

Working Locally. Thinking Globally.

At Innovamare Technologies, we believe the ocean holds the key to a more sustainable future. That belief drives everything we do.

From the very beginning, our mission has been clear: to protect marine ecosystems through technology that respects the environment it’s built for. We’re not just creating products — we’re shaping a future where innovation serves both people and planet.

Headquartered in Šibenik, we draw inspiration from our surroundings — the rhythm of the sea, the strength of tradition, and the momentum of progress. We are proud to be part of a growing movement that blends Croatian ingenuity with global purpose.

Every decision we make, every project we pursue, is rooted in this vision. Because we’re not here to follow trends — we’re here to redefine them, for the ocean and for those who depend on it.

Open Innovation Ecosystem

We co-create solutions with academia, industry, and institutions — tested in Living Labs and shaped by real-world feedback.

Strategic Coastal Location

Based in Šibenik, our location offers direct sea access and a deep connection to maritime tradition.

Cross-Border Collaboration

EU-backed partnerships connect us with Italy and the Mediterranean to tackle regional marine challenges.

Real Impact, Not Just R&D

We don’t stop at concepts — our solutions are built for real deployment, from conservation to regulation.
