Are digital twins enough to revolutionize aquaculture? Not quite.

The real power lies in shared ocean data , and Norway’s AquaCloud is proving it.

In this episode, we dive into the story behind AquaCloud, the industry-led “love child” of Norwegian aquaculture that is breaking down data silos to unlock collaboration, sustainability, and smarter decision-making.

Discover how over 60 data parameters (from fish welfare to oceanographic conditions) are transformed into actionable insights that help fish farmers anticipate sea lice outbreaks, researchers accelerate innovation, and the entire industry move from digitization to true digital transformation.

We also explore the challenges of data governance, privacy, and standardization, and look ahead to what’s next: federated AI, remote operations, robotic swarms, and a new mindset for the future of aquaculture.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why shared data matters more than digital twins

• AquaCloud’s journey from idea to startup

• Governance, anonymization, and GDPR in aquaculture

• Accelerating research through standardized data

• How small farms benefit as much as big players

• The future: AI, robotics, and dynamic offshore farms

Key question:
How do you design a neutral, trusted data platform that protects company-sensitive information yet delivers shared value, for farmers, researchers, and the ocean?
