Panellists will include representatives from Aqua-Spark*, Hatch, S2G Ventures, IndieBio, Tianfeng Securities and Xplore Inc. A Q&A session will follow presentations.
The webinar will take place on 14 October at 5 am GMT / 1pm Beijing time / 1:00 am EDT.
As wild-caught fish supplies dwindle, the entire aquaculture industry has a stake in ingredients that are nutritionally equivalent, and can serve as substitutes for fishmeal and fish oil. Nutritionally equivalent substitutes can de-risk supply chains and future-proof the aquaculture industry for continued growth. For investors, these same supply-chain problems present potentially lucrative growth opportunities.
Critical for the initiation and growth of aquafeed ingredient companies, are investors. This session offers a sampling of investors representing the full range from seed to venture, and from a variety of perspectives including synthetic biology, aquaculture and conservation.
This event is part of a year-long webinar series hosted by the F3 Team. The webinars are free and open to everyone. For more information and to register, visit: f3meeting.com/webinars. The webinar recording will be available on the F3 Youtube channel following the event.
Moderator
