Seaweed is the next-gen strategic resource: from crude oil to biotech. How can we leverage that?

Reiss Jones, Entrepreneur & Engineer, Rongbient, Vietnam

About the speaker: 

Reiss is an inventor and engineer: he designed the Seaweed Shearer that boosted harvest rates by 3x in Bangladesh, shaped the design of Macro Autofarmer - which is 90% cheaper than industry leading auto-harvester and built Seaweed Gang - one of the largest online seaweed communities at 350+ members.

Rongbient uses seaweed biofilters and medicinal feed to clean, nourish and heal shrimp to expand yields and cut costs.


Presentation:

As the geopolitical world fractures into a multi-polar one, battle lines are being drawn on strategic resources and technologies such as biotech (as identified by the White House in 2022), energy and food. Seaweed is a resource that can underpin all of these, and therefore become the next-gen super resource - moving beyond the importance of crude oil today. How can we achieve this, and what opportunities does this present to businesses across the seaweed industry?
