InnovateMass/MassCEC funds testing

 13 Mari of the Blue Incubator and the BX2 Cohort, received funding through the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center's InnovationMass program to prototype and pilot. Here in September 2024, 13 Mari Founder & CEO Krassi Fotev gives a reporting tour to the MassCEC Team. The InnovateMass funded pilot produced significant validation data.

The ripple-shaped Flowsmart element developed by 13 Mari uses technology, which has been incorporated into the shape of aircraft wings and as aero parts for automobiles, and it is based on the concept of controlling the flow of water near the hull to reduce drag and bring out the original performance of the vessel. The company aims to improve the fuel efficiency of vessels and achieve stable navigation.
