Accelerate the Decarbonization of Maritime and Offshore Industries
D-ICE Engineering, a pioneering French deeptech company specializing in advanced technologies for the energy transition, is proud to announce the successful closing of a €6 million funding round. This milestone was led by SWEN Capital Partners’ Blue Ocean fund, a mission-driven investment fund dedicated to supporting innovations that protect and regenerate ocean biodiversity.
Founded with a bold vision to transform maritime and offshore operations through sustainable innovation, D-ICE Engineering has rapidly established itself as a key player in the development of intelligent, high-performance solutions that enable the decarbonization of complex industrial environments. Its technologies empower shipowners, operators, and offshore energy actors to significantly reduce emissions, optimize energy usage, and operate more safely and efficiently in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
Supporting a Cleaner, Smarter Blue Economy
The backing from the Blue Ocean fund underscores D-ICE’s strategic alignment with the broader goal of building a resilient and sustainable blue economy. As marine industries face mounting pressure to decarbonize, reduce their environmental footprint, and comply with increasingly stringent regulations, D-ICE’s solutions offer a pathway to achieving these targets without compromising operational excellence.
Proven Impact, Global Potential
D-ICE’s solutions are already deployed in a variety of industrial contexts, including hybrid and electric vessels, floating wind energy, and autonomous marine systems. Their proprietary technologies integrate advanced simulation, control algorithms, and real-time optimization to deliver measurable environmental and economic benefits.
The new funding will enable the company to accelerate the adoption of its technology stack, particularly in collaboration with shipbuilders, offshore operators, and renewable energy developers seeking to meet their net-zero commitments.
A Strategic Partnership for Ocean Health
As the lead investor, SWEN Capital Partners brings deep sectoral expertise and a shared commitment to environmental stewardship. The Blue Ocean fund’s investment in D-ICE is part of a broader initiative to foster breakthrough innovations that not only mitigate climate change but also restore the health of marine ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
With this strategic funding round, D-ICE Engineering is poised to expand its impact and reinforce its leadership in the maritime energy transition. The company remains committed to developing science-based, scalable solutions that meet the urgent environmental challenges of our time—starting with the oceans.
