Ocean energy focus Makai specializes in ocean-based renewable energy solutions (OTEC and SWAC) and ocean thermal energy collaborations, presenting upsell opportunities for advanced engineering, testing tools, and deployment support in offshore renewables.

Training and simulation Recent launches of Makai Simulator and submarine cable installation training tooling indicate a strong demand for workforce development and onshore safety training that can be offered as service packages or licensed software to contractors and operators.

Cable planning ecosystem MakaiPlan integration with high‑resolution nautical charts (via OVCS) and ongoing partnerships to enhance route planning suggests cross-sell prospects in digital planning, risk assessment, and data visualization for cable deployments and subsea infrastructure.

Strategic partnerships Recent collaborations with Global OTEC, Triton Software, Shell, and others highlight a network ready for joint development and grant-funded projects, offering avenues for co‑funded R&D, pilot programs, and technology commercialization.

Financing and scale With mid‑sized revenue and funding activity focused on remote installations and cost reduction for offshore renewables, there is room to propose turnkey engineering services, modular hardware solutions, and financing‑aligned project packages to accelerate client procurement.
