Our partners
Partners and sponsors who helps the project to be realised and implemented in best possible way.
Sture Karlsen
Chairman of the Board, SeaDrive AS
Freepower offers a unique boat concept that together with our POD are in the forefront of the development of electric boats. The fact that we both are produced locally in the same city provides synergy effects that simplify integration and cooperation.
Kristian Wenstøp
Industrial designer, Pivot Industridesign AS
Pivot Industridesign has long experience with maritime projects. We always look for the dimension in a project that can provide the best possible conditions for future generations. With Freepower, it was easy. We had the opportunity to design a boat exactly as we think it should be: Quiet, solar-powered, timeless, efficient, spacious, open, protected, flexible and virtually maintenance-free.
Nikhil André Luthra
Developer, Bouvet AS
We love both good ideas and sustainability, and therefore think it's incredibly cool to be part of Bjurtech's journey with modern technology that meets several sustainability goals! We are looking forward to the continuation.
Tomas Lars Hansson
CEO, GreenBoats AS
The reason Freepower Solar boats excite me, is the promise of self sufficiency; being able to operate off-grid. What this will means, is not always being stressed about having to find a location to charge your boat - this gives more freedom, and thats what i'm all about!
Jaroslaw Klein
CEO, Heim Maritime AS
The main reason to cooperate with Freepower is our strategy to position HEIM MARITIME AS in projects with the application of green technology. Our own focus area is the conversion of production methods to environment friendly processes.
