CEO Helge Trettø Olsen comments:

The first half of the year resulted in a series of accomplishments that further solidified our position in the market. Our most important achievement was laying the foundations for the historic alliance for ocean sustainability, formed in collaboration with the Azores government and its "Regional Directorate for Fisheries". A pivotal moment was marked in early August when the Secretary of the Sea and Fisheries, Manuel Sao Joao, made the commendable decision to equip all licensed traps and gillnets in the autonomous region of Azores with our Resqunit technology.

Main events during H1 2023

- Distribution agreement with Ad Mare Solutions Lda to bring Resqunit Trap Recovery System to the Portuguese market.
- Significant milestone in its global expansion strategy with the signing of a distribution agreement with Intermas Group.
- Directed private placement of SEK 3.75 million to the institutional investors DSD AS and MIF Marine Invest.
- Initiating regulatory approach in the autonomous region of Azores (resulted in specific action after the period).
- Relocation of our product manufacturing from China to Portugal in July 2023, closer to core markets, and with significant cost savings in both manufacturing and shipping.
