Daphne Technology, a leading Swiss climate deep-tech company committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in hard-to-decarbonise industries, has set up its new subsidiary, Daphne Technology SG, in Singapore. 

 

This expansion marks a key step in the company's growth, positioning Singapore as the central hub for its maritime operations in the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Daphne Technology SG will play a crucial role in the company's scale-up phase, focusing on delivering innovative solutions to mitigate methane slip and other harmful emissions within the maritime sector. Renowned as a global maritime hub, Singapore offers the perfect ecosystem for Daphne Technology to advance its mission of driving a sustainable energy transition in the shipping industry.

 

Wealth of experience

The new Singapore entity will be led by Kuldipak Pednekar, who has been appointed Managing Director. Kuldipak, who has been with Daphne Technology since the beginning of 2022 and serves as the company's Head of Marine & Offshore Operations, brings a wealth of experience in maritime operations and business scaling, making him ideally suited to lead Daphne Technology's efforts in this dynamic region. His leadership will be pivotal as the company accelerates its efforts to provide groundbreaking technologies contributing to global decarbonisation goals.

 

"We are thrilled to establish our presence in Singapore, a critical market for maritime operations and a key region for our growth strategy," said Dr Mario Michan, CEO & Founder of Daphne Technology. "With Kuldipak Pednekar at the helm, Daphne Technology Singapore SG will drive the adoption of sustainable practices in the maritime industry, delivering cutting-edge solutions that align with our commitment to environmental sustainability and technological innovation."

 

"I am honoured to lead Daphne Technology SG at such a crucial moment in our company's growth," said Pednekar. "Singapore's strategic position in the global maritime industry provides us with a unique opportunity to accelerate the adoption of our innovative technologies. I look forward to driving our mission forward, ensuring that we make a significant impact in reducing emissions and advancing sustainable practices within the maritime sector."

 

Daphne Technology's expansion into Singapore underscores its dedication to tackling the global methane slip challenge, especially in the maritime sector. The Singapore subsidiary will be instrumental in deploying the company's pioneering technologies, including SlipPure, which significantly reduces methane emissions from ship exhausts, and PureMetrics, an advanced real-time GHG measurement and optimisation system.--TradeArabia News Service
