ID Water is an agricultural climate technology company focused on the integration of smart aquaculture and smart forestry. We are dedicated to leveraging the concept of NbS (Nature-based Solutions) and have innovated a solution called "MAPS." Our unique indoor aquaculture model significantly increases production efficiency per unit area while reducing labor costs. Through our in-house developed artificial intelligence, water quality sensors, robot technology, and the inclusion of insurance mechanisms (GAIC - UK Aquaculture Disease Insurance) and solar integration not available to traditional aquaculturists, we have made twenty years of stable aquaculture production possible. We are paving the way for sustainable aquaculture's future. The wastewater generated by our intelligent shrimp farming facilities is reused for mangrove fertilization, increasing carbon sequestration capacity by over 50% annually. This eliminates extensive mangrove deforestation associated with traditional aquaculture, reduces carbon emissions, and provides consumers with clean, safe, and high-quality aquatic products. Additionally, we create blue carbon credits to assist large tech companies in achieving their SDGs or environmental, social, and governance goals. Since it was established in 2017, ID Water has grown into a medium-scale corporation with 60+ employees and a capital size of 220 million NT dollars. In October 2019, ID water received the top 3 award in the Mass Challenge, which is the largest non-profit business accelerator in the United States. In December 2021, we became one of the members of Unreasonable Group, which is invested by Barclays, the second largest bank in the UK.
