Seanergy wins Innov’Eau Award backed by ADEME, France 2030, and the French Government. The teams at ADEME and the French government, after auditing our work programs and development plans, praised the strategic positioning of the Seawards project and the relevance of its R&D initiatives: innovating for a sustainable future in service of water and the planet. 

They reinforce our commitment and that of our teams to the company’s mission
“Democratizing seawater desalination through an innovative, efficient, agile, cost-effective, and environmentally respectful method capable of producing potable water for the benefit of the many.” 

In doing so, Seawards addresses the global water scarcity crisis. 

Innov’Eau: Supporting a Key Innovation for Ecological Transition 

In 2020, 2.2 billion people worldwide suffered from water scarcity, a number projected to rise to 3 billion after 2025. With nearly half of the global population living within 100 kilometers of the sea, seawater desalination emerges as a natural solution to these global challenges, offering secure and sustainable access to an unlimited water resource. 

However, existing desalination solutions, whether through distillation or membrane processes (reverse osmosis), have severe ecological impacts and are prohibitively expensive, limiting accessibility to a few financially privileged countries. 

Seanergy, a young French startup founded in 2021, aims to change this status quo. By focusing on the industrialization of an innovative seawater desalination method, cryo-separation, under the Seawards brand, it provides the only effective, agile, and environmentally friendly alternative—protecting marine fauna and flora—that can be scaled to benefit the many. 

An International Recognition 

Seawards has expanded its international presence by participating in President Emmanuel Macron’s official visit to Saudi Arabia, fostering collaboration between France’s “France 2030” and Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030.” Both programs aim to accelerate economic, energy, and technological transitions toward a sustainable future. 

At the Franco-Saudi Forum, co-chaired by Emmanuel Macron and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Seawards contributed to discussions on renewable energy, smart cities, and sustainable infrastructure—key global climate challenges that align perfectly with Seawards’ expertise in sustainable and respectful solutions. 

Seawards’ inclusion in this prestigious delegation not only highlights the company’s growing influence but also its ability to address critical global issues. This strategic engagement also opened doors to B2B partnerships and new opportunities to accelerate the company’s international development. 

A Technology Serving the Environment and Future Generations 

Seawards’ mission, supported by ADEME and the French government, is clear: to offer an efficient, economical, agile, and environmentally respectful alternative to current methods, transforming the desalination market to reach a broader audience. 

With a focus on innovation and environmental stewardship, Seawards aims to eliminate pollutants from ocean discharge while offering a cost-effective solution for more countries. Backed by initiatives like Innov’Eau and international recognition under the France 2030 framework, Seawards is steadfast in its commitment to building a future where potable water is accessible to all without compromising the planet’s integrity and ecosystems. 

Towards a Future Where Potable Water Is Accessible to All 

In 2025, Seawards will continue refining its innovative cryo-separation technology, aiming to advance it to a stage of wide-scale deployment. The company will collaborate with public and private stakeholders to ensure its global impact. 

Participating in an initiative of this magnitude underscores Seawards’ determination to build a harmonious future balancing economic growth with environmental preservation. 

Guided by values of sustainable innovation and international collaboration, Seawards confirms its leadership role in a world undergoing profound transformation.
