Lissy Smit has decided to move on from her role as CEO of the aquaculture investment firm. She will be replaced at the Aqua-Spark helm by co-founder Mike Velings from July 1 2024.
Germany, through its governmental development bank KfW, is the first contributor to Aqua-Spark's fund especially dedicated to catalyzing sustainable aquaculture in Africa.
Continuing its commitment against overfishing, Aqua-Spark invests in the Israeli FoodTech start-up Wanda Fish Technologies, a developer of premium-quality cultivated fish outside of the ocean.
Increasing investment in technology that enables a new growth model and in alternative feed ingredients are the key points on which Aqua-Spark focuses its strategy to achieve it.
The Dutch aquaculture investment fund has led the Series A financing round for eniferBio to scale PEKILO® as an ingredient in the sustainable aquaculture feed.
