Daphne Technology is pleased to announce the establishment of a new subsidiary, Daphne Technology Singapore (Daphne Technology SG), a strategic expansion which the company says marks a significant step in its growth, positioning Singapore as the central hub for its maritime operations in the Asia-Pacific region.
Swiss company Daphne Technology is committed to reducing GHG in hard-to-decarbonise industries. Daphne Technology SG will play a crucial role in the company’s scale-up phase, focusing on delivering innovative solutions to mitigate methane slip and other harmful emissions within the maritime sector. Singapore is considered to offer the perfect ecosystem for Daphne Technology to advance its mission of driving a sustainable energy transition in the shipping industry.
The new Singapore entity will be led by Kuldipak Pednekar, who has been appointed MD. Pednekar has been with Daphne Technology since the beginning of 2022 as the company’s Head of Marine and Offshore Operations, brings experience in maritime operations and business scaling.
Dr Mario Michan, Daphne Technology Founder and CEO said: “We are thrilled to establish our presence in Singapore, a critical market for maritime operations and a key region for our growth strategy. With Kuldipak Pednekar at the helm, Daphne Technology Singapore SG will drive the adoption of sustainable practices in the maritime industry, delivering cutting-edge solutions that align with our commitment to environmental sustainability and technological innovation.”
Pednekar added: “I am honoured to lead Daphne Technology SG at such a crucial moment in our company’s growth. Singapore’s strategic position in the global maritime industry provides us with a unique opportunity to accelerate the adoption of our innovative technologies. I look forward to driving our mission forward, ensuring that we make a significant impact in reducing emissions and advancing sustainable practices within the maritime sector.”
Daphne Technology’s expansion into Singapore underscores its dedication to tackling the global methane slip challenge, especially in the maritime sector. The Singapore subsidiary will be instrumental in deploying the company’s pioneering technologies, including SlipPure, which significantly reduces methane emissions from ship exhausts, and PureMetrics, an advanced real-time GHG measurement and optimisation system.
This strategic move is part of Daphne Technology’s broader global vision to scale its impact, offering solutions that address some of the world’s most urgent environmental challenges.
