Ocean Visuals will attend EIC Summit 2026, a European innovation event focused on deep tech, investment, technology scaling, and the future of Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

The EIC Summit brings together companies, investors, policymakers, researchers, and industry representatives working to strengthen Europe’s innovation landscape and support the development of new technologies.
Bringing advanced technology into real-world use takes more than a strong technical solution. For hardware-based deep-tech companies, commercialisation often depends on long-term development, validation, industrial partnerships, and access to the right networks.
This makes the EIC Summit a relevant meeting place for companies working to move technology from development into wider market adoption. The event creates an arena for discussing not only how innovation is funded, but also how advanced technologies can be validated, scaled, and applied in real operational environments.
For Ocean Visuals, this is directly relevant to our work with real-time sensing technology for marine and offshore environments. Our OWL™ technology enables detection, classification, and monitoring of oil and organic substances in water, supporting improved environmental monitoring and operational decision-making.
As we continue developing and commercialising advanced sensing systems, events such as the EIC Summit provide valuable opportunities to connect with the European innovation ecosystem and discuss how deep-tech solutions can be brought into practical use.
Across Europe, there is growing focus on how new technologies can move beyond early development and become reliable tools for industry. This is especially important in sectors where performance, documentation, and operational trust are essential.
The EIC Summit provides an opportunity to engage with organisations working across technology, finance, policy, and industry — and to take part in conversations about the conditions needed to support innovation beyond the early development stage.
We look forward to joining the event and connecting with the European innovation ecosystem.



“The operational use of this technology has the potential to improve the verification of suspicious oil features, the detection of oil in the water column, reducing the need for conventional laboratory analysis.”
