Start-ups in the maritime industry often struggle to secure funding despite having innovative ideas. Motion Ventures, a venture capital fund focusing on maritime solutions, launched in 2021 in Singapore and has already started to see a return on its investment. The fund aims to support start-ups in developing and commercializing their products, addressing the challenge many of these ventures face in turning their ideas into profitable products.
