About my Start-up
Blue Planet Ecosystems turns sunlight into seafood by recreating aquatic ecosystems in an AI-controlled environment. Compared to traditional fish or aquaculture production, BPE offers a scalable, mobile, and sustainable solution. This innovation is achieved by vertically integrating the entire aquaculture value chain and combining the major competencies in engineering, data science, and biotechnology in-house. The core of BPE’s technology is a self-optimizing control system, supported by big data, computer vision, and AI. This allows us to manage
operational complexity and lower the deployment costs of our aquaculture system. Moreover, this breakthrough approach enables exponential scaling of sustainable fish production on any piece of land. At the same time, our fish is free of pollutants and is 100% traceable.
Why your idea is a “winner"?:
We have developed a product/technology that integrates all aspects of the aquaculture value chain into a scalable device, including a self-optimizing control system, to grow sustainable seafood on any piece of land. We are targeting innovative food producers such as farmers that are looking for a way to diversify their food production portfolio in the face of rising energy prices, droughts, and changing consumer behavior. Ensuring animal welfare is one of the key value propositions we provide to our customers and to the end consumer.
What is your current or intended business/revenue model?:
We provide Hardware, Software and Biology as a Service.
Do you have any Patent or IP registered (related to the solution that you are looking for an investment)?:
Patents filed
Has your technology already been implemented in any field/sector?:
Deployed a full-scale LARA prototype, which operated successfully at a friendly customer's test location. Remote monitoring software and IoT systems were tested successfully.
Which market and customer need(s)/problem(s) is (are) your products(s)/service(s) going to solve?:
• Fishing industry severely strains marine ecosystems, and fish stocks are exploited beyond sustainable levels.
• Increased concerns about environmental toxins in seafood: Health authorities have recommended restricting the consumption of certain fish species.
• Non-transparent supply chains: Hard to trace the origin of fish
• Demand for animal protein will double by 2050. Fish is one of the most important protein sources, and rising prices will increase food insecurity in emerging markets.
• Pressure on traditional fishing/aquaculture industries to supply fish in necessary quantities, aquaculture is not well suited to solve pressing issues – requires vast amounts of fish meal/-oil that has to be extracted from the ocean.
