Chairing the AI discussion at the Blue Food Innovation Summit

The aquaculture industry is currently navigating a significant growth spurt, spurred by the need for innovative solutions to increasingly complex biological challenges. At the forefront of this evolution is the adoption of Artificial Intelligence, a topic Spheric Research Partner Matt Craze recently explored as panel chair at the Blue Food Innovation Summit in London.

The session, which brought together leaders in aquaculture technology, delved into how advanced digital solutions can be implemented throughout the production cycle. The discussion focused on leveraging AI to enhance sustainable yields, increase biomass, and boost operational efficiency—all while promoting crucial goals of ocean stewardship. A key theme was the power of data and analytics to foster collaboration between aquaculture producers and environmental agencies, ensuring that business objectives align with ocean conservation.

The panel provided a comprehensive look at the digital frontier of aquaculture, featuring insights from a distinguished group of experts including:

  • Katie Sokalsky, CEO, KAMPI
  • Mathew Zimola, Founder & CEO, REELDATA AI
  • Steve Tucker, Founder & CEO, AQUABYTE
  • Kira Smiley, Global Director, TIDAL
