The importance of early-stage partnerships for scale was mentioned as critical by a panel on the future of aquafeed at the #BlueFoodInnovation Summit in London. Collaborating with partners on the feedstock supply side, energy supply side, and overall R&D is key, while securing commitments on the offtake side is essential to ensure scalability, said MiAlgae founder and MD, Douglas Martin “If you're waiting for #startups to reach a scale where they can magically drop 50,000 tons into a feed production system, you're overlooking the considerable time it takes to get there. The commitment to scale up is what drives investment and capital for the entire organization. Early commitments in terms of offtakes, with contingencies or otherwise, transform startups into established businesses."
