It addresses a major environmental issue: plastic pollution in agriculture 🧑🌾 Farmers use 12.5 million tons of plastic annually, causing soil degradation, microplastic contamination, and long-term ecological damage ♻️ While petroleum-based plastics are crucial to farming, they are costly to manage and dispose of. This issue is particularly severe in coastal communities where cleanup is often underfunded. 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆: Bio-based industry 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Agriculture Oceano Azul Foundation BLUEBIO ALLIANCE maze impact

Recently, with the completion of the Portugal in-person weeks of the Blue Bio Value program, which was so impactful, we became a BBV alumni startup as Kybele's Garden! We had an effective process that we found valuable in our internationalization journey and at the same time, we planted the seeds of strategic collaborations in the Portuguese ecosystem. We visited many important places in the bioeconomy network, such as Lisbon, Porto, Nazare, and Matasinhos. 🌊 We had the opportunity to meet with companies that create value in the field of algae biotechnology and blue bioeconomy in many different parts of the world and to present the potential of our technology. 🙌 As part of the process, we also had the opportunity to come together with strategic investors in Portugal, one of the leading ecosystems in Europe in this field, who can be defined as "to the point" on our behalf. We held very beneficial meetings within the scope of an intensive networking calendar for two months. ✨ During the last two weeks of the program in Portugal, we had the chance to get in close contact with valuable entrepreneurs in the cohort and visit significant companies for our vision such as Allmicroalgae, CIIMAR, SGS, A4F-Algae for Future, Polytechnic of Leiria MARE - Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, Food4Sustainability CoLAB and Ampliaqua by BGI - Sustainable Ventures. We would like to thank BLUEBIO ALLIANCE, maze impact and Oceano Azul Foundation for their contributions to Blue Bio Value, one of the most effective programs in the world focused on blue bioeconomy, and for creating such a well-designed scope! 🎉 A huge thank you to Elisabete da Costa, Rita Baptista, Mariana Paupério, Diana A. from BLUEBIO ALLIANCE and Marta Costa, Ieva Akramaite, Maria Salgado, Luana Parisius, Francisca Simões, Margarida Anselmo from maze impact team for their contributions to our journey! 🪻 Lastly, it was a great pleasure to get to know you and work with you on the technologies that will shape the future, our cohort partners! 🌎 Algas Organics Bio1ONEHealth, Lda Biotic BlueCare discovery CapiPro Coral Bioworks Deep Blue BioTech ER SOULIER Everything Seaweed Hydromantica Moreshrooms AS NARA Climate PhyCo Technologies Qortein SeaDyes Limited TerraBiome

𝝤 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝝾 𝗲𝘀𝘁á 𝗻𝝾 𝗺𝗮𝗿 Depois de dois dias intensos no encerramento do programa Blue Bio Value deste ano, volto a casa com o mindset recarregado e a convicção renovada: o oceano não é apenas um recurso – é a solução. Porquê? Porque, à medida que enfrentamos desafios ambientais crescentes, a bioeconomia azul não é apenas uma oportunidade – é uma necessidade. Foram 6 semanas incríveis. Acompanhei start-ups e projetos extraordinários e bem disruptivos, concebidos por mentes brilhantes que não estão somente a tentar construir negócios, estão a moldar a bioeconomia azul e a redefinir a forma como interagimos com os recursos do mar - aproveitar de forma sustentável o potencial dos nossos oceanos. No palco da inovação científica e biotecnológica, vi ideias que não só protegem o oceano, mas também o posicionam como um aliado estratégico de alto valor económico para todas as indústrias – do setor têxtil às soluções alimentares e energéticas. Mas a verdade é que inovar na economia azul não é um mar calmo. É bem tumultuoso e parece-se estar sempre a nadar contra a corrente. Porque os desafios que enfrentam vão muito além de financiamento ou de tecnologia. Exige resiliência nos longos ciclos de puro I&D e tem que andar sempre a balancear a inovação com o rigor científico. Cada ideia e startup presente no Blue Bio Value é, sem dúvida, um candidato ao futuro de uma economia azul melhor – uma economia que dissocia o crescimento económico da exploração insustentável dos recursos naturais e que substitui soluções de altas emissões de carbono por alternativas regenerativas, de impacto positivo para o planeta. Por isso se tiver a sorte de cruzar com um fundador de uma startup da Economia Azul ou alguém de um projecto de ideação, lembre-se: eles não estão apenas a construir um negócio ou ter uma ideia out-the-box com algas; estão a traçar um rumo para um futuro mais sustentável. Se continuarmos a destruir o oceano, comprometemos a sua capacidade de absorver carbono, o maior que temos, e de nos alimentar. A nossa vida depende do mar, e iniciativas como o Blue Bio Value demonstram que é possível traçar um caminho diferente, onde inovação e sustentabilidade caminham lado a lado. Como mentor, o nosso papel também não é fácil pois não é apenas guiá-los através do manual padrão (que não existe) ou desenvolver plano de negócio, mas em conjunto com eles ajudar a escrever um futuro mais sustentável porque esta gente muito discretamente está a trabalhar para resolver muitos dos desafios mais prementes da humanidade. Por isso , estou grato à Oceano Azul Foundation BLUEBIO ALLIANCE e maze impact por criarem este espaço de transformação e me permitirem contribuir para um futuro sustentável, tanto para os oceanos como para o planeta. 𝝤 𝝾𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻𝝾 𝗻ã𝝾 é 𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘀 𝝾 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝝾 – é 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝝾𝗺𝝾𝘀. 𝝤 𝝾𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻𝝾 𝗷á 𝗳𝗮𝘇 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝝾 𝗽𝝾𝗿 𝗻ó𝘀. 𝝖𝗴𝝾𝗿𝗮, é 𝗮 𝗻𝝾𝘀𝘀𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝘇 𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗿. “Sea” the future.

A Voice for the Oceans: Art as a Catalyst for Change Last week at the Oceano Azul Foundation, I had the honor of unveiling an artwork that serves as a voice for ocean changemakers—a powerful symbol of innovation and collaboration dispatched thought 5 selected change makers (Blue Bio Value Award) For the past year, we’ve been quietly building something extraordinary. This "secret venture", to be unveiled next year, is more than a project—it’s a movement. We are creating a portfolio of innovations, backed by an ecosystem of changemakers united to transform the fashion industry and walk with the ocean. My journey as a designer began with leftover materials, driven not by trends but by necessity and purpose. The ocean, my first muse, continues to guide my work. In my studio, I experimented with marine biomass—seaweed and seafood waste—crafting pigments and polymers that became the foundation of something greater. The artwork incorporates invasive seaweed, salt, and seafood waste from Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Portugal (processed through the upcoming venture). It evolves daily, responding to temperature and humidity, reflecting the ocean’s fragility and resilience. Predominantly blue, the piece symbolizes the ocean’s dominance—covering 70% of Earth’s surface—and serves as a call to action. This metaphor for adaptation highlights how uniting innovation, art, and collaboration can preserve the oceans for generations to come. This work seeks to inspire new ways of thinking, blending art and science to demonstrate what’s possible when collective efforts drive meaningful change. Walk with the ocean. Walk with us.
