Malta Venture Capital (MVC) joined Clean Valley at an important stage in our growth, when we had proven our Hardware-as-a-Service model and needed additional financial capacity to scale. MVC’s investment, combined with its strong network across Europe, helped us accelerate our growth and expand into new international markets. We doubled our sales pipeline and entered new markets across ASEAN, Africa and South America. With this additional investment and expertise, we were also able to establish our European operations through Clean Valley Europe. MVC’s support will help us continue expanding across the EU, while creating a stronger economic focus on aquaculture and the blue economy in Malta. We see this as the beginning of a long-term relationship that can contribute to cleaner oceans, the development of new seafood industries in Malta, and a blueprint for future Maltese aquaculture startups.
