How We Started
Aqua Development was founded in Seoul in 2018 by a team of aquaculture scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs frustrated by the inefficiency and unsustainability of conventional shrimp farming. We asked: ‘What if we could use technology to make farming both more productive AND more responsible?’
Our Mission & Values
What Drives Us
To revolutionize aquaculture through intelligent technology, making sustainable shrimp farming profitable for every farmer, everywhere.
