01 / The mission
A new wave of student engineering.
Streamline NTNU was founded by engineering students with a shared fascination for marine technology. We want to push boundaries where renewable energy, hydrodynamics and hands-on design meet.
Our ambition is to create a competitive solar-powered foiling boat — and build a lasting technical organization where students learn by doing.

Every detail matters.
Every watt counts.
Our early-stage concept combines lightweight structures, efficient propulsion and solar power. The final design will evolve as the team tests and develops its solutions.
Composite
Hydrodynamics
& foils
Exploring hydrofoil configurations that lift the hull and reduce resistance in the water.
Solar
energy
Photovoltaics, power electronics and energy management designed around limited onboard energy.
Embedded
systems
Control, telemetry and software bringing mechanical and electrical systems together.
03 / Looking ahead
From an ambitious idea
to the starting line.
We are at the beginning of a long-term journey — building the organization, developing a vessel and preparing to compete.
2026
Foundation & concept
Establish the organization, assemble the first team and develop the technical direction.
2027
Design & production
Grow the team, secure partnerships and work toward manufacturing and integration.
2028
Our racing ambition
Target a completed boat and entry into international solar boat competitions.
Our schedule is a goal, not a guarantee. A 2029 competition debut remains an option if more development time is needed.
04 / The people
Different disciplines.
One shared ambition.
We bring together students with backgrounds across marine engineering, mechanical design, electrical systems and industrial design. The organization is being built to welcome new generations of problem-solvers.

05 / Partnerships
Let's make waves together.
Building a competitive solar boat takes more than ambition. We're looking to connect with companies, researchers and supporters who believe in sustainable maritime technology and student innovation.
Whether through technical expertise, equipment, materials or financial support, a partnership can help turn an ambitious concept into a real vessel.
