Hatch Blue Europe/Asia Virtual Demo Day H2 2025
The CREST Accelerator by Hatch Blue is a leading program advancing aquaculture and ocean-focused companies through global industry exposure and insights.
This virtual event is the culmination of months of market exploration, industry validation, and IP enhancement for 11 portfolio companies who are innovating at the nexus of environment and ocean health, global food security and sustainable growth.
From unlocking AI-powered diagnostics to seawater-based mineral recovery and carbon removal, novel feed and commodities, and more, come meet the companies who are ready to enter their next growth phases.
Happening on Tuesday, 2nd December, 2025, from 10:00am to 11:00am CET / 5:00pm - 6:00pm SGT, please register to join us for this virtual event. Seats are reserved for active financiers and capital deployers, advisors, and hosts who supported us during the Crest programme.
The companies are:
🌊 AQUIT (USA/Chile): Platform technology that identifies and produces proteins to boost the animal's natural immunity against bacterial and viral pathogens.
🌊 Cultimar Technologies (Florida/Puerto Rico, USA): Cutting-edge, proprietary breeding and rearing protocols for local production of sustainable seafood in undersaturated tropical marine fish markets, starting with Red Snapper.
🌊 Hadl (USA/Indonesia): Image recognition and AI modelling to assess pathogen presence and abundance in shrimp ponds for early disease detection without requiring additional hardware.
🌊 FP Aqua (Denmark/Norway): AI-powered platform for real-time and high-resolution tracking of phytoplankton and zooplankton in marine and freshwater environments using submersible sensor systems.
🌊 MarinElixirs (USA/India): B2B company producing plant biostimulants and feed ingredients from farmed seaweed via fully-integrated value chain operations, including seed-as-a-service and buy-back model.
🌊 Nernst (Ireland): Breakthrough in solid oxide fuel cell fabrication that unlocks oxygen transport membranes, enabling scalable on-site oxygen production by extracting high-purity oxygen from air.
🌊 Rare Earth Global (UK/Spain): Industrialising hemp production via a B2B marketplace to produce novel, low-carbon aquafeed ingredients (protein and oil) and advanced materials (bio-concrete).
🌊 Safer (UK): Redefining industrial seawater utilisation by enhancing desalination efficiency, mineral recovery and carbon removal, making freshwater production profitable.
🌊 SeaCrop (Israel): Enabling bulk harvesting of sustainable marine microbial plankton via a proprietary electrostatic fibre, unlocking a novel ingredient for food and feed industry use.
🌊 Sensor Globe (Canada/Norway): Platform technology increasing fish welfare and yield for the farmer by identifying causes of mortality in real time.
🌊 Vycarb (USA): Leveraging a water-based chemical process and proprietary sensing technology to safely, measurably, and cost-effectively capture and store CO₂ as bicarbonate in ocean water.
