SeaPattern wins grant for dual-use hydrokinetic technology development
SeaPattern has been awarded funding from Vinnova and the Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten) to further develop its hydrokinetic technology for civil-military purposes, inspired by NATO’s acceleration program DIANA.
We’re honoured to announce that SeaPattern has been awarded funding from Vinnova and Försvarsmakten as part of the Innovation Program for Civil-Military Synergies, inspired by NATO’s acceleration program DIANA (NATO Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic).
The initiative, “Acceleration of Civil-Military Innovations,” focuses on advancing dual-use technologies with the potential to tackle defense-related challenges while enhancing the competitiveness of Swedish companies on the international stage.
SeaPattern Hydrokinetic Energy System provides a modular, sustainable power solution that operates independently of traditional grids. Thanks to this grant, we will be able to develop our system for use in emergency scenarios – whether due to natural disasters, power outages, or conflict.
With a unique, easy-to-deploy design, SeaPattern’s system is ideal for remote locations and critical situations, ensuring a stable power supply even when standard infrastructure is compromised.
A big thank you to Vinnova and Försvarsmakten for their confidence in SeaPattern’s vision.

SeaPattern was founded in Sweden in 2020. The company develops a solution that increases electricity generation in existing hydropower plants by 7–10 %, without environmental harm and without requiring new large-scale infrastructure. The company’s fully integrated OEM solution combines modular, floating turbines in clusters with AI software for dynamic positioning and optimization. With thousands of hydropower plants across Europe, the potential to contribute to the energy transition is significant.
