Smart Shipping joins the IncubAzul accelerator
Published:
We’re excited to share that Smart Shipping has been officially selected to join IncubAzul, the high-technology Blue Economy incubator developed by the Cádiz Free Trade Zone and co-financed by EU FEDER funds.
Our project was one of six startups chosen in this first intake, alongside initiatives working on sustainable tourism, architectural design, and circular economy solutions. Following a competitive evaluation process, we’re proud to see our proposal, focused on maritime route optimization and fuel reduction, recognized as a valuable contribution to the sustainable transformation of the maritime sector.
Our work at UCA Datalab aims to support cleaner, more efficient navigation using environmental data and algorithmic optimization. IncubAzul will give us access to personalized mentoring through Telefónica Open Innovation, along with legal, financial, and business development support to help us grow beyond the research phase and into real-world impact.
The program officially kicks off on April 5th, and we’re eager to begin this next chapter alongside a community of ocean-minded innovators. A big thanks to the entire IncubAzul team and evaluation committee for their trust, and to my team leads David Gómez-Ullate, Javier Jiménez, Francisco Amor, and everyone who’s made Smart Shipping possible.
All the best,
Daniel Precioso
