Norway-based Remora Robotics, a tech company that specialises in aquaculture robotics, has raised NOK 164M (nearly €13.73M) in a funding round. The investment will support the rollout of its autonomous cleaning robot for aquaculture.
The round was led by Hatch Blue through its Blue Revolution Fund, with strong participation from existing shareholders.
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 funding round, in August 2023, the Norwegian company secured SEK 30M (nearly €2.5M at the time of the raise) in funding led by Grieg Kapital and Momentum.
Robotics solutions to the aquaculture industry
Founded in 2016, Remora Robotics was established with a clear goal: to automate underwater tasks in aquaculture and reduce the need for manual labour.
The company developed a patented autonomous submarine robot that performs net cleaning and AI-driven inspection of fish farming cages while collecting data on the aquatic environment.
The solution supports fish health by maintaining cleaner nets, improving gill conditions, and reducing stress. It also lowers biological risks associated with traditional high-pressure cleaning and vessel activity near pens, leading to improved fish welfare, stronger biosecurity, reduced mortality, and more efficient production.
Headquartered in Stavanger with large-scale production facilities and an operations centre, Remora Robotics works directly with salmon farmers to tailor its technology to practical needs.
The company collaborates with leading research institutions in Norway, including SINTEF, NTNU, the Norwegian Research Council, and Innovation Norway. Its robot has been tested by NORCE and quality-assured by Aquastructure in 2021.
By integrating automation, inspection, and data collection, Remora Robotics aligns technology, fish welfare, and operational efficiency. With a foundation in the Norwegian market, the company is preparing for international expansion while continuing to develop its technology to meet evolving industry needs.
What’s next?
Over the last 12 months, Remora Robotics has reached a key commercial milestone with installations at several leading aquaculture companies. Rising demand has led to most of its production capacity being sold out for the next six months. The focus now is on delivering strong service and long-term value through the Remora platform.
At Aqua Nor, an aquaculture technology exhibition taking place in August, Remora Robotics will present the next step in its technology roadmap. This includes a new software platform for continuous pen monitoring, featuring AI-driven 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.”
