Fishway: “Cultivated Fish Offers a Way To Produce Real, High-Quality Seafood Independent of Wild Stocks”

Fishway is a Belgian food-tech company focused on producing cultivated fish biomass as a sustainable and scalable solution to the growing global fish supply gap. By isolating stem cells from fish tissue and cultivating them in bioreactors, Fishway generates high-quality ingredients for food applications without the need for fishing or traditional aquaculture. CEO Annelies Bogaerts leads the company in bridging the gap between science and business to advance the development of cultivated fish products.

Fishway's focus on accessible products like minced seafood and fish sticks aims to accelerate market adoption by meeting consumer demand and volume efficiently. The company's decision to focus on biomass rather than complex cuts simplifies production timelines, costs, and scalability, making their approach strategic and commercially advantageous. Additionally, Fishway is exploring applications in infant nutrition and pet food markets, showcasing the versatility and potential impact of their technology beyond mainstream seafood products.
