Inspired by the developments in global maritime decarbonization, Regbes is an engineering start-up that developed superior fully automated Shore-to-Ship Power (SSP) connections. Initially focused on electric power, the team is now busy expanding their solutions into alternative fuels such as Methanol, LPG and Hydrogen. I am advising the team in assessing the current market landscape, formulating a comprehensive market entry and growth strategy, and determining target customer segments.

Impacted by the procurement reorganization towards end of 2022, I decided to enjoy some time off, to reflect and refresh, and set the new course.
