One of the most important ones was meeting Ian Bruce, Olympic sailor, and designing my first electric boat back then in 2014.

doing water sport in the back of that boat at 40 miles per hour.

And lately, I also met Roger Moore in 2016, founder of Nautical Ventures.

And he was showing me all the marine retail space were.

So meeting Ian Bruce, Roger Moore.

And then working with McLaren engineering and testing for two years in a row, our technology from 2021 to 2023 was something very important for us.

And lately we did the world fastest electric boat with Sean Torrente, world champion in the F1.

So all those, I would say past 15, 16 years of work were very important for me.

So this is where most of the knowledge became very important for me.

Electrification for us was not a concept.

It was a commercial opportunities that was actually we were already executing on back then by building smaller electric boats doing six, seven miles per hour.

We saw early that the marine industry was behind and customers were expecting the market to move faster.

The low maintenance solution and the cap with the demand was already there, but the lack of high performance propulsion system were not there.

So we saw the opportunity as early as 2015 for the market there by replacing slowly the combustion engine by the year 2030, 2035.

So we were the early adopter back then.

That's what.

That was what's motivating us.

The key challenges were transitioning from innovation to repeatable, scalable production.

We did 25 different integrations over the past five years on brand new boats from different manufacturers.

Marine usage is a bit different than the car.
