Maiden Wave Energy LLCSince filing its first ocean-energy patent in 2007, Maiden Wave Energy LLC has developed autonomous boats powered by wave energy for ocean observation and environmental data collection. The Greater Baltimore-area small business has tested 23 prototype or proof-of-concept vessels across 19 bodies of water and built seven boats for the DOE- and NOAA-funded Ocean Observation prize, where it won the BUILD competition after demonstrating its technology at the U.S. Navy’s Carderock wave-testing tank. Its current work includes a self-propelled floating rover and longer-duration autonomous vessels intended to collect data without fuel or a crew aboard.336612BALA CYNWYD, PA

Severn Marine Technologies, LLCFrom Annapolis, Severn Marine Technologies develops and applies ClearSignal, a permanent clear coating that uses non-stick properties to protect marine instruments and long-term ocean platforms from biofouling. Founder and president Hank Lobe, an ocean engineer with more than 30 years in advanced materials and oceanographic systems, helped develop the coating initially for offshore seismic exploration before its adoption across the oceanographic community. The company’s application is tailored to each instrument and marine deployment, with testing showing virtually no biofouling on coated wave buoys after two years of continuous service.ANNAPOLIS, MD
