Sea2Cell positioned itself on the next food frontier by developing a unique technology to produce cultivated fish meat. Instead of raising fish in ponds or going fishing, the company will grow fish cells in huge tanks and make chunks of fish out of them. Due to the high demand, many fish species are in danger of extinction. Therefore, there is a huge business opportunity and, moreover, a real chance to save our oceans and make an enormous impact on the environment.
