During the HYDRO 2023 Conference held last week in Genoa, our CEO Giovanni Ranieri

delivered a keynote speech titled “Ocean Exploration: a new challenge for the Energy Transition.”

With his expertise in the field, he highlighted the importance of exploring the ocean as a means to

accelerate the shift towards sustainable energy and emphasized the necessity for the offshore

industry and the scientific community to join forces to reach that goal.Ranieri gave an overview of NextGeo recent research and development advancements in various

technological fields, including subsea robotics, with the realization of a ground-breaking high-speed

deep-water ROV equipped with high-resolution imaging systems and advanced sensors. This opens

up new possibilities for exploring the depths of the oceans, contributing to scientific progress and the

conservation of marine ecosystems.

Collaborating with research institutions in ocean exploration leads to the collection of vital data on

climate, biodiversity, geology, and chemistry of the oceans. These data are essential to understanding

environmental change impact and developing conservation strategies.

He concluded pointing out that private companies are crucial in ocean exploration, contributing with

financial resources, technology advancements, skilled professionals, and partnerships with the

scientific community. Their involvement unlocks possibilities for expanding our knowledge of the

oceans, tackling environmental issues, and promoting marine ecosystem sustainability.
