🌊Oceans Month has concluded, but our commitment to preserving and prospering our oceans continues. We wrapped up OCEANOVATION with great success.
Ava Van Vliet, our investment manager for the Blue Revolution Fund, shared insights on aquaculture investment trends in #VC, industry developments, emerging vertical interests, consumer trends, and the financial dynamics shaping the future of aquaculture.
👥Our Co-founder, Wayne Murphy, and Moritz Mueller, our managing director for The Fish Site, engaged with fellow enthusiasts and were delving into innovations in climate tech solutions, regenerative farming, new farming systems, and emerging trends in the sustainable blue food ecosystems.
It was a fantastic event where we engaged with key stakeholders, change agents, individuals, investors, and companies dedicated to preserving and sustaining our oceans while supporting the blue economy sector.
🌍Blue food is a key sector of the #blue economy, and we believe aquaculture is a vital solution for bridging the #protein gap and feeding the world. Continuous investment, innovation, and #collaboration are essential.
We must delve deeper into understanding the multitude of factors that impact our planet. This understanding is crucial as it allows our planet to continue providing essential #ecosystem services such as #food production, preservation of #biodiversity, and regulation of the #climate, among other vital functions.
Thank you, OCEANOVATION, for organizing such a meaningful gathering and for bringing together innovative companies and ventures focused on sustainable aquaculture.
We had a great time meeting in The Hague and joining some amazing aquaculture companies from Aqua-Spark’s global portfolio.
🌊At Hatch Blue, we believe in the importance of the collective effort to make a lasting impact on our #oceans, our planet, and our people.
