Noah Silberschmidt

Noah founded Silverstream Technologies in 2010 and has led the company to becoming a market-leading clean technology business, and the fourth fastest growing European business in 2023 as recognised by the Financial Times.

Noah’s entrepreneurial acumen and extensive networks within the shipping industry have been central in bringing the company’s patented hull air lubrication system (ALS), the Silverstream^® System, to market and global commercial success.

In 2014, Noah secured a landmark deal with Shell to fund one of the most robust and rigorous sea trials for a clean technology within the shipping industry, the results of which proved the validity of the Silverstream^® System. The impressive performance of this and subsequent installations has driven orders across the maritime sector, from a variety of market segments including LNGCs, containers, dry bulkers, tankers, cruisers, VLOCs, Ro-Ros and PCTCs.

Today, Silverstream works with the world’s leading ship owners and charterers including MSC, Shell, Grimaldi, Carnival, Maersk, Vale, ADNOC L&S and many others. Through a substantial investment in data analytics, gaining unparalleled insights into the hydrodynamic performance of ships, and the integration of new digital capabilities into our product, Silverstream is on track to realising its ambition of ALS becoming a standard on all newbuild vessels entering the global fleet.

Prior to founding Silverstream, Noah spent 17 years in investment banking. He is also a keen windsurfer.
