General information

Short Summary
A German company has developed an innovative and sustainable method for producing marine fish independently of coastal locations. The company is seeking investors to scale production and expand internationally.
Full Description
The company operates the world’s first urban marine fish farm far from the sea. Using a unique closed-loop system, the process water is filtered, biologically treated, and 99.9% reused. This enables year-round, resource-efficient cultivation of marine fish under optimal conditions in the heart of Germany. The fish are fed exclusively with sustainably certified, non-GMO feed. Preventive antibiotic treatments or other harmful additives are not required, ensuring a safe product.

Development Stage: The technology for fish production is already developed, proven on pilot-scale, started-up at production-scale dimensions and ready to be rolled-out worldwide. The final food product (Yellowtail Kingfish) is available from summer 2025 onwards.
Advantages and Innovations
• Absolute Freshness – Regional production allows short supply chains, guaranteeing fresh products.
• Closed-Loop Systems – Free from microplastics, heavy metals, or environmental toxins.
• Pure and Natural Product – No artificial modifications or harmful additives.
• Future-Proof Production – Scalable, resource-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
• Health Benefits – High levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
