Luther advises Singapore Aquaculture Technologies on Siemens' investment

Singapore Aquaculture Technologies (SAT) Pte Ltd, a sustainable aquaculture company, focusing on data and AI-driven processes and analytics, is considered a pioneer in utilising closed containment systems for fish farming. As SAT's first institutional shareholder, the investment from SFS, financing arm of global technology company Siemens AG, represents a significant minority stake in the company. SAT had already been able to win Siemens Digital Industries as a technology partner in 2020.

The two founders, Dirk Eichelberger and Michael Voigtmann, view Siemens' entry as a confirmation of their strategy to become the leading supplier of data and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven aquaculture solutions, in addition to producing premium fish products under their BluCurrent label. The aim is to support sustainable food production and help Singapore achieve its "30 by 30" goal of 30% local food production by 2030.
