AquaHub specializes in extending the mission endurance of autonomous underwater and surface vehicles (AUV/ASV) through innovative defence solutions. They are developing a docking and charging station for AUV/ASVs that provides in-situ charging and datalink capabilities, enabling fleets of vehicles to operate autonomously at sea with no human intervention. This solution enhances mission time-on-station, reduces operational costs, and supports both military and civilian  missions.

The mentoring program has opened industry pathways and connections I never dreamed of. We've met amazing people, and the advice (and criticism) we've received has been invaluable in shaping our product's direction. The mentors' critical approach has sometimes forced us to significantly rethink our ideas, but this has undoubtedly guided us in the right direction. I've gained a lot of insights into the EU defense market. The local mentors in the Polish edition have been instrumental in connecting us with industry experts and potential clients, while the EUDIS mentors have provided valuable knowledge about the EU-wide market.
