Shrimp x Tech x Innovation: Farm Optimization

ShrimpL farm optimization software
Scope /

With global shrimp prices settling at structurally low levels, efficiency has become a make-or-break factor across the entire value chain—especially at the farm level. Around the world, innovative companies are developing farm management software to help producers gain deeper insight into farm performance, make smarter decisions, and safeguard profitability.

In this session, Andrew Campbell—CEO of AQ1 and a seasoned expert in aquaculture technology—will kick off the discussion. Having led AQ1 through its acquisition by BioMar, Andrew will reflect on the key success factors for technology providers in the shrimp sector. He will also introduce four pioneering companies that will each pitch their solutions and share the hurdles they face on the road to scaling up.

Joining us on stage this year are the CEOs of Jala, ShrimpL, and Kampi, who will showcase how their technologies are enabling more resilient, efficient, and profitable shrimp farming operations.

Following their pitches, Santosh Kumar from the International Finance Corporation will lead a critical Q&A, probing into the companies’ value propositions and exploring the challenges they face in raising new funding rounds.

This session will leave you inspired about the future of data-driven shrimp farming and provide valuable insights into the current fundraising landscape for agri-tech and aqua-tech startups.
