Gustav Hasselskog CEO of Candela

We aim to transition to fossil fuel-free transport with superior efficiency and environmental benefits. Traditional ferries are polluting, costly, and slow. Our hydrofoil technology unlocks the potential of waterways, offering quicker, more comfortable, and cheaper journeys, reducing road congestion from Stockholm to New York to Bangkok.
