Meet those who share our goals and trust our expertise.
Marine Weather Intelligence develops its solutions within a strong ecosystem of research institutions, industrial partners, incubators, and public stakeholders.
These collaborations reflect a shared conviction: marine weather must be treated as a strategic operational factor, combining scientific rigour, field expertise, and responsible innovation.
What we look for in partnerships:
Partners who contribute strong added value in research, engineering, maritime operations, or market understanding.
Collaborations grounded in a common commitment to maritime safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability.
Partners willing to share knowledge, challenge assumptions, and explore new approaches to complex maritime and environmental questions.
Partnerships focused on strengthening the scientific basis of marine weather analysis, routing methodologies, and uncertainty assessment.
IFREMER is a leading French research institute dedicated to marine science and technology.
In June 2023, MWI was awarded the Octo’Pousse IFREMER Innovation Challenge, securing a €250k investment to support its R&D programme.
This marked the start of an 18-month collaboration involving two IFREMER laboratories:
LHYmar – Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory
LOPS – Laboratory of Physical and Spatial Oceanography
This partnership focuses on improving the qualification, understanding, and interpretation of atmospheric and marine forecasting models.
IFREMER is both a research partner and a key investor in Marine Weather Intelligence.
Through collaboration with the Laboratory of Mathematics of the University of Southern Brittany (LMBA), MWI conducts in-depth research on routing methodologies.
This partnership includes:
bibliographic research,
co-supervised student projects,
development of innovative mathematical approaches for marine routing and weather analysis.
MWI is supported by ESA-BIC, benefiting from financial support and access to a network of space and data experts.
This collaboration provides access to satellite data and expertise to:
detect hazardous phenomena,
assess model accuracy,
maintain communication with vessels at sea.
MWI also participates in research programmes aimed at improving real-time weather alerting, particularly for convective phenomena.
Digital innovation cluster supporting the integration of advanced data processing and AI technologies into MWI’s marine weather and routing solutions.
Accelerators, clusters, and professional networks connecting MWI with maritime operators, fleet stakeholders, and industrial partners.
SEAstart is the only French accelerator dedicated to naval start-ups, supporting innovation and scaling in the maritime sector. This program aims to support the growth of innovative companies in the maritime sector by providing resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities essential for scaling their businesses.
Through ZEBOX, MWI engages with fleet operators and develops research initiatives focused on route optimisation and CO₂ reduction.
EVOLEN’UP supports MWI’s integration into the shipping and offshore energy markets, providing strategic guidance and visibility.
National network bringing together maritime industries, institutions, and innovation stakeholders.
Community promoting sustainable and operationally relevant solutions for the blue economy.
Member of the Wind Ship Association, a professional network dedicated to the development and deployment of wind-assisted propulsion technologies in commercial shipping.
This involvement reflects MWI’s interest in integrating weather intelligence into emerging low-carbon maritime strategies, where routing, performance modelling, and weather risk assessment are key operational factors.
Public bodies and professional organisations supporting innovation, structuring, and responsible development.
MWI is supported by BPI France through financial backing and innovation programmes, including the French Tech Emergence Grant.
This support contributes to:
R&D acceleration,
protection of intellectual property,
commercial structuring and recruitment.

Global initiatives are reshaping the industry.
"All people on Earth must be protected by early warning systems within five years."
The World Meteorological Organisation calls on all stakeholders to develop weather safety warnings for all populations through the EW4All (Early Warnings for All) campaign, a top priority for the UN.
The International Maritime Organisation has committed to reducing pollutant emissions by at least 70% by 2040, with the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The “GreenVoyage2050” project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 10 to 50% by 2030 through speed management.
