CoVadem

CoVadem, an innovative startup founded in 2017 and headquartered in The Netherlands, positions itself as the “Internet of Ships.” By focusing on inland shipping, CoVadem aims to enhance efficiency and sustainability in cargo transportation by connecting individual sensors and devices to create integrated data insights. This collaboration allows ship owners to achieve more cargo capacity with less fuel consumption, thereby reducing environmental impact.

With its roots deeply embedded in data analytics, CoVadem applies collaborative (big) data principles, offering ship operators a competitive edge through performance monitoring and benchmarking. Their approach not only provides direct value to the Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) sector but also enhances the understanding of riverine behavior, thus aiding in vessel development and water management.

Having secured a €1.50M Seed investment from FORWARD.one and PDENH in December 2018, CoVadem is strategically positioned to capitalize on growing demand for data-driven insights and sustainable shipping solutions.
