KOA Biotech
We provide a digital, autonomous and onsite testing technology for fish farms that reduces fish mortality and can reduce costs up to 50% in fish farms. Our technology will revolutionize fish health and fish farm economics, and reduce their environmental impact worldwide. Over 50% of the fish we consume today comes from farms. Today’s testing technology consists of water samples shipped to labs that take 5 to 10 days to deliver results. Our onsite testing kits continually monitor potentially harmful bacteria in water and create early warning alerts to prevent infections. We are a spinoff from the University of Pompeu Fabra started by a group of PhDs in Biology. We have 2 live tests running with customers willing to pay and 8 more LOIs in line to go live in the next three months. By creating more sustainable food production we are taking care of humanity and the planet. Join us!
