Our third investment from Bluefront Capital II is official – welcome to the portfolio, Piscada Aqua! 🐟 The Trondheim-based company delivers critical feeding software to fish farmers – helping them optimize one of the most important (and costly!) parts of salmon farming. Did you know that feeding makes up around 80% of the climate gas emissions and over 50% of the operating costs for salmon farmers? 🌎 In other words – it’s a key area for optimization, both for the environment and the bottom line! We’re excited to team up with the great people at Piscada and look forward to the journey ahead! Read more below: https://lnkd.in/d_7_qaF3
