Artemis Technologies, founded in 2017, is the lead partner in the Belfast Maritime Consortium, a 13-member syndicate working on designing and building zero-emission high-speed ferries in the city through the creation of its unique electric hydrofoiling propulsion system, which is set to revolutionise the maritime industry.
Artemis Technologies, which is based in Belfast Harbour, is set to showcase its innovative sustainable technologies and products at the COP26 summit in Glasgow. It will unveil a scale model of the company's advanced high-speed zero-emission workboat, to be launched next year. The company aims to lead the decarbonisation of the maritime sector through the development of innovative and sustainable technologies and products.
Replica scale models of the Artemis eFoilerTM propelled vessel will be exhibited in the public Green Zone at the Glasgow Science Museum and the International Maritime Hub at the City of Glasgow College's Riverside Campus.
CEO and founder of Artemis Technologies, Dr Iain Percy OBE, said: "Our mission is to lead the decarbonisation of maritime, and we are proud to be playing a part in helping the UK reach its sustainability targets. As we continue to make strides towards a net-zero future for the marine industry across the globe, we are excited to showcase examples of our ground-breaking designs and technologies at the COP26 summit. We welcome the opportunity to provide greater insight into the important work we do at Artemis Technologies and look forward to contributing to the wider conversation on climate action and the green recovery."
Dr Iain Percy OBE will also contribute to an expert panel session as part of 'Get Set for Workboat 2050' in association with the Workboat Association.
World leaders will arrive in Scotland for the summit itself, alongside tens of thousands of negotiators, government representatives and businesses for 12 days of talks.
