Issue Aquatic Breakthroughs

Summary

Aquatic Breakthroughs asks what would happen if the oceans unlocked innovations in health and food. The oceans hold vast biodiversity that remains largely unexplored. That diversity offers openings in marine biotechnology and pharmacology, which could drive advances in both medicine and the food industry. The opportunity sits within the Advanced Health and Nutrition megatrend and connects to trends such as the blue economy, biotechnology, food innovation and international collaboration. It draws on AI, biotechnology and robotics, and its keywords include the High Seas Treaty, oceanography and pharmacology.
