Founded in 2020, Sea Green is a Singapore based start-up seeking to solve the connectivity gaps in the blue economy. A small, highly-driven team of experts from diverse backgrounds, we strive to bring change on a global scale during this UN Decade of Action.
Basing our activities and ambitions on research carried out by our parent company Asia Affinity, we are a value-addition solution, leveraging digital technology to support coastal community development and sustainable growth of the seaweed industry.
By working collaboratively across sectors, but always maintaining a clear sense of duty to our partner communities, we hope to bring real change to the world, moving the dial on livelihood resilience, food security and climate change.
Through Sea Green’s platform technology, we will be able to provide data analytics to ensure we remain accountable for our SDG commitments, whilst also supporting the development of measurement frameworks and needs-based innovation for the benefit of the blue economy. This will further strengthen our promise to deliver poverty alleviation, livelihood resilience, coastal community protection, financial inclusion, carbon drawdown, climate adaptation and food security.
