The RDI Hub in Kerry will host the Hatch / BIM workshop in July.

Hatch offers an opening for aquaculture innovators

Early-stage sustainable aquaculture accelerator Hatch is now accepting applications for its fourth “Innovation Studio” workshop, which will be run in County Kerry, Ireland throughout July.

Published Last updated

The workshop is being run in conjunction with Ireland’s seafood development agency, Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM).

Hatch and BIM are seeking to develop early-stage technology concepts and ideas from Ireland and enable participants to turn their projects into start-up companies.

The free workshop, which is limited to 10 teams or projects, is designed to assist attendants in their commercial development and viability in seeking to grow and scale their business into a sustainable and profitable aquaculture company.

Hatch and BIM are looking for applications from:

  • Researchers with a great idea
  • Project teams looking for support and mentorship
  • Start-ups that want to take things to the next level
  • Later stage companies seeking market and industry access
  • Companies in an adjacent industry entering aquaculture

The Innovation Studio will be held from July 4-29 and is part-time (2-3 days per week). It takes place at the RDI Hub in Kerry.

Since 2017, Hatch has invested in more than 35 companies, run four successful cohorts, raised its first US $8 million fund and established offices in Hawaii, Norway and Singapore.
