Norwegian Startup Remora Robotics Raises €13.7M For Aquaculture Innovation

The company builds robots for the aquaculture industry, and the investment will help launch its autonomous cleaning robot.

The funding round was led by Hatch Blue’s Blue Revolution Fund, with support from existing investors.

Thomas Grieg from Grieg Kapital, who is joining the board of directors at Remora Robotics, says, “We’ve been part of Remora’s journey since 2023, and what they’re now delivering to the market confirms both their vision and ability to execute. The technology delivers significant value to Remora’s customers. That’s why we’re increasing our investment.”

Before this round, in August 2023, Remora Robotics raised SEK 30M (around €2.5M) in a round led by Grieg Kapital and Momentum.

Founded in 2016, the Norwegian company aims to automate underwater tasks in aquaculture, reducing manual labor.

Remora’s patented autonomous submarine robot cleans fish farming nets and inspects cages using AI. It also collects environmental data, helping improve fish health, reduce stress, and boost biosecurity. Unlike traditional methods, it avoids harsh cleaning techniques and vessel traffic near pens.

Based in Stavanger, Remora runs large-scale production and works closely with salmon farmers. It partners with top Norwegian institutions like SINTEF, NTNU, and Innovation Norway, and its tech has been tested by NORCE and verified by Aquastructure.

In the past year, Remora Robotics has achieved a major commercial milestone, securing installations with top aquaculture companies. Due to high demand, most of its production is booked for the next six months. The company is now focused on delivering strong service and long-term value through its platform.

At Aqua Nor this August, Remora will unveil the next phase of its technology—a new AI-powered software platform for continuous pen monitoring and net integrity inspection.

Svein Erik Gregersen, CEO of Remora Robotics, says, “We’re incredibly proud of what the team has achieved so far, and it’s highly motivating to see such strong market response to our technology.”

“This funding gives us the opportunity to further develop the platform and deliver even more value to our customers. These are exciting times for Remora – and we’re just getting started.”
