Smartmark, a leading provider of advanced regatta buoys, has been chosen as the official supplier for the UIM E1 World Championship.
Founded in Hamburg in 2020, Smartmark will supply its cutting-edge, GPS-controlled buoys throughout the seven-race inaugural season of the Championship. These innovative buoys digitally mark regatta courses efficiently with the push of a button, showcasing technological advancements in racing.
The partnership underscores the E1 Series' commitment to innovation and sustainability in addressing the crucial role oceans play in climate protection, food, and energy sources. Smartmark's unique buoys, powered by electric motors and capable of autonomous positioning for 24 hours, offer an environmentally friendly alternative as they don't require anchors.
The E1 Series aims to raise awareness of the importance of balancing conservation and utilization of oceans. Jonas Schumacher, co-founder & CEO of Smartmark GmbH, highlights the buoys' web-based application for desired positioning and their positive impact on the environment.
The collaboration signifies a significant step in promoting cutting-edge technology for a sustainable future.
Rodi Basso, co-founder and CEO of E1, expresses pride in Smartmark's contribution, aligning with E1's values, and anticipates an exciting and environmentally conscious racing season ahead.
