Cell-Cultured Seafood Has Entered the Chat ✅

By BlueNalu Team

Our team visited and spoke at Seafood Expo North America in Boston this March alongside Marika Azoff from The Good Food Institute and Christopher Chase from SeafoodSource.

BlueNalu spoke at the Blue Food Innovation Summit in London in May alongside Luke Halsey from AIIM Partners, Tunyawat (Nud) Kasemsuwan from Thai Union & Arturo Ania from Mara Renewables.

BlueNalu spoke at Future Food-Tech in NY this June with Timothy Olsen of Merck, Susanne Wiegel of Nutreco, Guy Michrowski of Profuse Technology, Tony Moses of CRB Group & Nicole Gotink of DSM.

This June, BlueNalu's CTO, Dr. Lauran Madden, attended and spoke at AquaVision, one of the world's leading aquaculture conferences in Norway.

This August, President & CEO, Lou Cooperhouse spoke with Matt Craze of Undercurrent News, a leading international news website covering the seafood industry.

We have been busy this past year, engaging in important industry discussions about the future of seafood. BlueNalu is thrilled to be one of the only cell-cultured seafood companies invited to speak at important industry events and platforms like Seafood Expo NA, Aquavision, the Blue Food Innovation Summit, the National Fisheries Institute annual SIRF event, and Undercurrent News’ recent podcast.

We have seen tremendous interest and support from some of the world’s leading producers, buyers, marketers and promoters of sustainable seafood. BlueNalu’s collaborations with these leaders represents a tidal shift in how the industry is operating and thinking about sustainable development.

Many organizations involved in the seafood industry recognize that the future supply of seafood will be unable to keep up with demand. According to the FAO, fish consumption has been outpacing global population growth by a factor of 2:1 since the 1960s, resulting in a projected gap in seafood production of 28 million metric tons by 2030. It’s not a trend, but a fact of life; the world needs a new solution to supplement the global seafood supply.

Our technology presents a radical shift in the efficiency and sustainability of seafood production and the potential to increase the value of the seafood industry through job creation and improved safety, security, traceability, consistency, and predictability of the product. Working with the leading seafood companies expedites our ability to scale production and distribution of our products globally, with the quickest pathway possible, at the least possible cost.  Doing so benefits all of us by providing fresh, nutritious seafood as quickly as possible without taking fish from our ocean.  

BlueNalu plans to continue engaging in collaborative discussions and opportunities with those who see the need for change. We are proud to work alongside industry to raise the standard and support the increasing consumption of healthy, humane, and sustainable seafood.
