What we have achieved?

March 2020

Company Established

We officially registered Vaquita Technologies in Sweden an ‘Aktiebolag’ (limited liability company). Our office is based in Ideon Incubator – one of the best technical workspaces in the southern part of Sweden. We took our company name from an endangered species in order to constantly remember our goal, which is to protect and make our planet better for everyone.

June 2020

Fully functional prototype completed

After few months of constant work, we completed our first fully functional prototype: The Alpha VAQ 1. Monitoring station powered by solar and wind energy, that is capable of measuring temperature, Ph and turbidity. We placed it in a river on the outskirts of Lund and monitored it for several months to verify its performance and adjust it accordingly.

December 2020

First major round of funding secured

At the end of 2020, we had been greeted with a Christmas gift beyond our expectations – a verification grant of 150 000 SEK from Ideon Innovation to help us continuing developing our product. This funding round helped us tremendously in building new prototypes and further improving our technology.

March 2021

Sign-off for three pilot projects

A few months in 2021, we officially went into collaboration with three major stakeholders within the Swedish water industry. Each of these projects had been signed to last until the end of 2021 and they target different market segments to ensure that we properly scout various business opportunities.
