Maritime transportation emits a billion tonnes of CO2 annually, facing new IMO regulations to cut emissions by 50% by 2050. Traditional electric boats struggle with limited range due to water density, hindering industry innovation.

This talk introduces a revolutionary boat class, combining America’s Cup hydrofoiling, Formula One electric drivetrains, and aerospace flight control. Hydrofoils lift the hull, reducing drag by over 90% and dramatically extending range. This technology promises to revolutionize maritime transport with improved comfort, quiet operation, and zero wake.

Katrina, an aeronautical engineer, leads efforts at Artemis Technologies and the Belfast Maritime Consortium to develop these zero-emission passenger ferries. This presentation was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Circular business models offer significant value beyond just sustainability, driving new revenue, brand strength, and efficiency. However, they often fail to scale without a strong financial case.

Circular business models offer significant value beyond just sustainability, driving new revenue, brand strength, and efficiency. However, they often fail to scale without a strong financial case. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's "How not to fail" report and a recent podcast with researchers Maddy Oliver and Ella Hedley highlight that sustainability-focused pitches can lower internal commitment. They advocate for commercial collaboration, citing the HolyGrail partnership. Listen to episode 196 for more.
