Break-out session: Farmers x Tech

XpertSea Hatchery Counter
Scope /

In this session, four farmers from different regions and of different scales of production will be present on stage, who will listen to pitches from three tech suppliers. One of the suppliers, is a power management solution company, which helps to save energy costs and prevent mortalities due to power failure. We will also hear from a company which is about to launch a satellite-based, water quality monitoring service, that will help farmers better understand water quality performance in their ponds. The final company offers a rental-based smart feeding solution, which helps farmers to save costs on feeding their shrimp. After each pitch, the farmers and tech providers will engage in a discussion where there will be ample opportunity for the audience to get involved.
