AYRO
AYRO is a French industrial company that designs, manufactures and delivers a wind propulsion system called Oceanwings®. This technology solves the environmental and economic dilemma faced by shipowners: to reduce the environmental footprint and be competitive. Founded in 2018, AYRO is taking up the challenge of decarbonising shipping, thanks to its 100% automated system, which allows to save up to 45% of a ship's fuel consumption, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. At the end of 2020, AYRO signed the manufacturing of 4 Oceanwings®, of 363m², for the Canopée vessel: a 121m long ro-ro vessel dedicated to the transport of equipment for the Ariane 6 rocket. Based in Paris, AYRO opened its factory in January 2022 in Normandy, France.
Speaker: Romain Grandsart

Engineer and naval architect by education, Romain Grandsart joined AYRO in April 2020 and is in charge of the business development and the projects management of the company.
