Fortifi’s partnership with Völur uses AI to analyze data from automated meat processing equipment in real time. The AI optimizes cutting and processing by adjusting decisions based on inventory levels and the specific characteristics of each carcass. This ensures that each cut maximizes meat yield, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact by improving efficiency and minimizing CO2 emissions during production.

MarineSitu develops rugged, low-cost marine monitoring systems using advanced cameras, sonar, and machine learning to improve biomass estimation and health monitoring in aquaculture. Their technology is designed for harsh marine environments, and they are expanding into aquaculture with support from government grants and investment from Hatch Blue's accelerator program.

Proteine Resources uses AI for automated monitoring of insect farming conditions, ensuring optimal environments for larvae growth. The AI-driven system enhances operational efficiency by adjusting variables such as temperature, humidity, and feeding schedules, enabling sustainable, scalable production of high-protein insect-based products for animal feed and human consumption.

Biomatter, MicroHarvest, and Vivici are start-ups using AI and fermentation to develop functional and scalable proteins for food and other industries. Biomatter combines generative AI with physics for enzyme design, MicroHarvest focuses on rapid biomass fermentation for sustainable protein production, and Vivici uses precision fermentation to create whey proteins for diverse food applications.

Alstom and Flox are trialing an AI wildlife detection system on Swedish railways to reduce train-animal collisions, with the technology identifying animals and using tailored sound signals to deter them. The project, funded by a Swedish government grant, aims to enhance both rail safety and wildlife protection by preventing the approximately 5,000 annual animal collisions on Sweden's tracks.

Seremoni, launched by Saif Khawaja through Shinkei Systems, automates the humane Japanese ike jime fish dispatch method using AI-powered robotics, enhancing fish quality and shelf life. By offering a more sustainable and humane fishing process, Seremoni aims to disrupt the American seafood market, starting with black cod and black sea bass, while also improving profitability for fishermen.
