Vertical Lake

EarthShot Prize nominees, we’re Revolutionising sustainable, organic protein/collagen and bio-fertiliser production with vertical aquaculture lake system Our Purpose We aim to nourish the planet in a way that is clean, safe, healthy, and sustainable for future generations. We do this through innovative vertical aquaculture systems that produce high-quality protein with a global reach. Our Mission Our mission is to scale the production of climate-resilient, clean, and safe protein, while reusing and upcycling all byproducts. We are fully circular, sustainable, and organic. What We Do We are transforming sustainable protein aquaculture with a unique vertical freshwater aquaculture lake system. Our approach uses proprietary, organic, and circular bio-filtration technology to produce organic protein and natural plant fertilizer for global markets. Our Impact Our system is highly circular—water- and space-efficient, zero-emission, and waste-reusing. It aligns with global demands for sustainable, regenerative, and circular food production. Our Products We produce edible freshwater fillets and whole fish for the Kenyan market, as well as fish-skin collagen and protein derivatives from by-products. These serve the super-premium organic protein segment, which we intend to have global reach. Stage of Business We are in the early stage of our business—generating sales and operating profitably, preparing for scale. Our fish skin collagen and protein derivatives for premium markets is currently in the validation stage.
