Technological advancements improve our lives. But we often forget to appreciate the people behind innovation. This Thursday the European Patent Office did just that.
The winner in the SMEs category is Rik Breur for his work on marine antifouling fibre wrap.
Nature was the inspiration for Dutch inventor Rik Breur’s anti-fouling wrap. Like a sea urchin’s prickly surface, this environmentally friendly alternative to toxic paint prevents the growth of algae, barnacles and mussels on boat hulls, and improves fuel efficiency by up to 40%.
