The World Bank’s AquaInvest Platform, supported by PROBLUE, has developed innovative tools, which utilize AI- and geospatial-based decision support technologies, and can make a difference in good governance and investment in aquaculture. 

Developed in collaboration with Longline Environment, these versatile tools can lay the data-driven foundations for encouraging investment in the aquaculture sector in
 low- and lower-middle-income countries, ultimately bolstering employment and subsequent taxable income by using aquaculture as a responsible driver of sustainable growth.

Join us to learn about these tools and their application and to hear directly from commercial and NGO beneficiaries about how they see the value of such tools in the coming years.
