We are proud to employ 900 of the most competent, solid and innovative brains within aquaculture. Solid people make solid sustainable business, for our customers and for ScaleAQ. Local presence means strong relations, being there, rubbing shoulders and solving challenges hands-on.
Continuous development must occur on multiple levels. We work towards the continuous optimization of existing products, targeted development of new products based on adjacent solutions, and a long-term focus on entirely new concepts.
At ScaleAQ, we aim to take our share of the responsibility in developing technology with animal welfare at its core. We contribute by creating effective and relevant solutions in close collaboration with customers and by documenting good animal welfare practices in our work.
ScaleAQ is committed to leveraging our position in the industry to make contributions at all levels, based on insights and collaboration with customers and partners. Through our innovation and development projects, we strive to harness ideas and experiences from across the entire organization and from our customers, often in cooperation with academia and research institutions.
We have established systems for professional project management. These systems ensure quality and provide an overview of our development projects while supporting individuals and teams with passion and initiative. We believe in a combination of broad engagement and professional management, and our advisors are ready to draw on the full expertise of ScaleAQ, combined with the motivation, insights, and experience of our customers.
