Norwegian aquaculture robotics company Remora Robotics has raised NOK 164 million (approximately 13.8m euros) in new capital to support the scale-up of its AI-powered technology for the aquaculture industry.
Based in Stavanger, the company has developed a combined autonomous net-cleaning and AI-driven inspection robot for salmon aquaculture pens. Remora says its robotic system maintains cleaner nets automatically, supporting fish health and reducing stress levels, while also lowering biological risks from traditional cleaning methods. Altogether, the company claims, this leads to "improved fish welfare, better biosecurity, reduced mortality, and greater sustainability in production".
In a press release announcing the funding, Remora stated that over the past year, it has achieved "a major commercial breakthrough", having seen its robotic cleaning system installed at several leading aquaculture companies.
"Demand is rising, and much of the company’s production capacity for the next six months is already sold out. Going forward, the focus is on delivering high-quality service and long-term customer value through the Remora platform," the company said.
The latest influx of financing, achieved through a funding round led by Hatch Blue's Blue Revolution Fund, will now be used to speed up the roll-out of the robotic technology, the company said.
“Remora Robotics integrates technology, fish welfare, and operational efficiency in a way that directly addresses the needs of salmon farmers while enhancing aquaculture’s sustainability,” said Georg Baunach, CEO and Managing Partner at Hatch Blue. “We are very excited to work with the Remora team and support their growth in the Norwegian salmon market and beyond.”
Existing Remora shareholder Grieg Kapital increased its investment in the latest round. Representing the firm, Thomas Grieg, who will also now join the company's board of directors, said: "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."
"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," said Remora Robotics CEO, Svein Erik Gregersen.
"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," Gregersen added.
The company said it is planning to unveil new features at the upcoming Aqua Nor trade fair in August, including software for continuous monitoring of fish pens, with AI-powered tools for net integrity inspection.
Remora Robotics previously raised NOK 30 million in a 2023 funding round led by Grieg Kapital. In January 2025, the robotics firm announced it had appointed Eline Stokstad Fjell as its new CFO.
