Azura Indonesia

Nadea is the visionary Co-Founder of Azura Indonesia. Armed with her expertise as an electrical engineer, she’s revolutionising the lives of coastal communities in Indonesia. Her brainchild, the MantaOne marine propulsion engine, is a cutting edge technological development that offers a beacon of hope for low-income fishermen in Bali. MantaOne isn’t your run-of-the-mill engine; it’s a sustainable game changer. Powered by a cutting-edge lithium-ion battery pack, it not only slashes costs for fishermen but also champions environmental conservation, ensuring that every fishing trip is a step towards a greener future. With MantaOne, Nadea is providing a pathway to economic empowerment and environmental stewardship.

Nadea’s journey took a significant leap forward at the One Young World Summit in Manchester, 2022. As a Delegate Speaker for the Ocean plenary challenge, she captivated audiences with her vision of a sustainable ocean economy. Her global platform not only elevated her work but also ignited a wave of inspiration back home in Indonesia.

Today, Azura Indonesia’s MantaOne units are making waves in South Bali, reducing carbon emissions and economic costs with every trip. With 18 units already in operation, Nadea’s impact is tangible, with each engine symbolising a step towards a cleaner, more
prosperous future for Bali’s fishermen. But Nadea’s ambitions don’t end here. She plans to scale her initiative, ensuring that every fishing community in Indonesia has access to the transformative power of MantaOne. Nadea is not just building engines, but a legacy of sustainability and empowerment for generations to come.

“After the Summit I finally got the spotlight within my country. Before, no one really knew what the solution was. So the appreciation and the recognition came from outside Indonesia and after One Young World, a lot of national media finally became aware that there is this solution coming from Indonesia. So that's had quite a big impact for me.”
