Ocean Ecostructures is a Spanish technology company focused on marine regeneration by transforming marine infrastructures into blue oases using biomimetic micro-reefs, underwater drones (ROVs) and artificial intelligence-powered impact monitoring.
The company has recently raised €3 million in a new financing round led by the investment fund Seven Seas Capital. The fund aims to restore marine wealth and generate sustainable impact through innovative solutions. This capital boost will help accelerate the implementation of the Spanish firm’s globally unique multi-technology solution.
“We are proud that our first investment was in Ocean Ecostructures. It embodies the bold, science-based innovation that the ocean urgently needs. Its regenerative technology has the power to reshape how ports, coastal cities and offshore infrastructures interact with marine ecosystems,” said Michael Albin, co-founder of Seven Seas Capital, in a press release.
Ocean Ecostructures’ unique marine regeneration technology successfully deployed in oil platforms, submarine cables and over 30 Spanish ports. The focus will now shift to international expansion via subsidiaries, beginning in the Middle East.
3,000 biomimetic reefs installed by 2027
The plan aims to grow the company tenfold in the next two years, reaching 3,000 biomimetic reefs installed by 2027 and generating an annual impact of 12.3 tonnes of biomass, 3.8 tonnes of CO₂ captured and up to €15 million in natural capital.
“Our technology is scientifically validated and has already proven effective in ports, oil and energy infrastructures. Investors are drawn to Ocean Ecostructures because we deliver measurable, positive impact – vital for ESG compliance, EU corporate sustainability regulations and growing pressure to neutralize environmental footprints in verifiable ways,” said Ignasi Ferrer, founder and chief executive officer of Ocean Ecostructures.
Joining the round were Ship2B Ventures (via BSocial Impact Fund) and Inclimo Tech Fund, both investors since 2023. Their renewed commitment reinforces confidence in Ocean Ecostructures’ growth. The round was advised by ST Strategy and took place ahead of schedule due to strong business traction in 2024 from deployments in ports, oil platforms and undersea cables.
The internationalisation process will be accelerated by the startup's selection for the prestigious ScaleX programme at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Chosen among nearly 600 global candidates, Ocean Ecostructures is the only Spanish startup in the cohort.
