Aquaculture Europe 2025 (AE2025), organised by the European Aquaculture Society, is one of the leading global events bringing together industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, students, and innovators to shape the future of aquaculture as a vital pillar of food security. This year’s edition, held in Valencia, Spain, is centred on inclusivity, sustainability, and innovation, bridging science, industry, and policy to address societal needs while advancing environmental stewardship.
The Event
Held in Valencia, Spain, this year’s edition focuses on inclusivity, sustainability, and the growing role of aquaculture in delivering healthy food, preserving the environment, and strengthening local economies.
With a diverse programme covering the full range of species, scientific disciplines, technologies, and markets, AE2025 includes:
- Parallel sessions (oral & poster presentations)
- Industry forums and student sessions
- International trade exhibition
- EU research updates and satellite workshops
The theme of "Aquaculture for All" reflects the sector’s increasing relevance for environmental regeneration, coastal integrity, ecosystem services, and economic prosperity, especially within the European context.
Our Contribution
DTO-BioFlow will be featured on the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) poster at AE2025, highlighting the DTO-BioFlow Demonstrator Use Case on Sustainable Mariculture (Learn more on DUC4)
The DUC4 team explains:
“As the team behind DUC4, we leverage integrated biological, genomic, and environmental data to build models that de-risk mariculture operations. EMO BON’s eDNA monitoring provides rapid biodiversity insights to assess ecosystem health at potential farm sites, flagging risks like harmful algal blooms or habitat sensitivity. Coupled with DTO-BioFlow’s digital infrastructure, these tools enable dynamic spatial planning:optimising farm placement, harvest timing, and species selection while minimising ecological disruption. For industry and regulators, this translates to scalable, evidence-based frameworks for licensing, sustainability certifications, and climate-resilient aquaculture.”
Participants will also be able to pick up hard copies of the DUC4 factsheet, offering a practical overview of how DTO-BioFlow supports sustainable mariculture.
Aquaculture has become one of the fastest-growing food sectors globally. As it evolves, it also has the responsibility to ensure its operations support ecological balance, biodiversity conservation, and the regeneration of marine environments. By participating in AE2025, DTO-BioFlow helps demonstrate how biodiversity monitoring, digital modelling tools, and open data flows can guide sustainable aquaculture planning, strengthen decision-making, and connect research with industry and regulators.
Let's connect
We are proud to showcase how the Digital Twin Ocean and DTO-BioFlow can support smarter, more resilient marine futures.
