Hatch Blue’s portfolio companies attending Aqua Nor include SensorGlobe, Manolin, ANB Sensors, Kuehnle AgroSystems, Algisys, Nernst Electric, FP Aqua and Impact-9.

“We look forward to the opportunity to further connect these and all our portfolio companies with the wider ecosystem attending Aqua Nor. We are excited to engage with the community as we grow our network of farmers, development partners, investors and industry representatives. Get in touch to schedule a meeting with any of the portfolio during the event – we are eager to share and learn more,” comments Caitriona Kelleher, managing director of Hatch Blue’s Early Stage Investments team.

Meanwhile members of the Blue Revolution Fund (BRF) team will be attending to connect with innovators driving the future of sustainable aquaculture.

“Aqua Nor is the most important tradeshow for anyone who is in the salmon industry.” says Georg Baunach, CEO of Hatch Blue who will be attending alongside Sol Park, principal at BRF, and Sophia Macedo, VC analyst at BRF. “We’re very excited to support our portfolio companies, CageEye, ChucaoTech, DeNova and Remora Robotics and we would love to meet new companies that are raising a Seed, Series A or B round.”

Hatch Blue’s programmes team will be joining Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) and Enterprise Ireland to bring Aquatech Ireland – a showcase of a dozen of the country’s most innovative aquaculture technology companies – to Trondheim.

“Together, we’re shining a spotlight on the exceptional talent, cutting-edge solutions and collaborative spirit driving the future of sustainable aquaculture on an international stage. This is more than just a presence, it’s a statement about the calibre of ideas and technology emerging from Ireland’s blue bioeconomy. Meet us at stand D-343 to learn more about the companies shaping the next wave of aquaculture innovation and see why Ireland is becoming a leading hub for aquatech excellence,” notes Jessica Giannoumis, Hatch Blue’s community manager for Ireland.

What’s more, Hatch Blue Consulting will be led by managing director, Tanja Hoel, who says that they’re looking forward to introducing new innovators to Norway – being one of the world's most advanced aquaculture ecosystems. This year Hatch Blue is assisting delegations from New Zealand and Ireland to learn more about the aquaculture market opportunities. 

“We look forward to generating connections, showcasing emerging innovations, and supporting the growth of our portfolio and partner companies. Reach out to connect with them directly during the event, or arrange a meeting in advance via consulting@hatch.blue,” Hoel notes.
