This is a joint project of the Saint Petersburg Technopark and the Technology Transfer Center of the Saint Petersburg State Marine Technical University, aimed at the modernization and technological transformation of domestic shipbuilding and ship repair, ensuring technology transfer, implementing innovative solutions, and bringing the industry to the most advanced technical and technological level.
The project's uniqueness lies in the direct involvement of real-sector shipbuilding industry representatives—industrial partners and industry experts—at all stages of the Accelerator's work.
82 applications were submitted for participation in the Accelerator from 25 regions of Russia and Kazakhstan; 14 were selected for the program. These are the most promising innovative projects in shipbuilding and ship repair. Through the acceleration program—intensive work with trackers and mentors—they were adapted to the actual needs of shipbuilding companies.

Accelerator finalists presented their initial results to industry experts, representatives of corporations and investors, and representatives of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. Some of the solutions have already been accepted for implementation by manufacturers.
For example, two of the selected projects involve the development of innovative materials that increase a vessel's wear resistance, environmental friendliness, and other parameters. These materials are also applicable to Russia's strategically important project—the development of the Arctic. Customers showed interest in the "Narval" unmanned surface vehicle project for providing high-quality oceanic and atmospheric observations. This sail-type drone operates and moves using wind and solar energy. The share of domestic components in its composition is over 70%. Practical interest was generated by a system that allows operators of specialized equipment to remotely manage work using an automated workstation. Also relevant is a development whose implementation will allow for the creation of universal transport vessels for carrying various types of energy carriers.
The three best projects will receive a reward of up to 500 thousand rubles.
