What to expect
Mtech Ventures at the University of Maryland is hosting a small-group panel and discussion about new solutions to the ecological problem caused by the blue catfish. Rob Cohen and Scott Christensen are the hosts. The organizers say the agenda is light: about 45 minutes of panel discussion, with plenty of time for networking and informal conversation. The event is listed in Luma's Climate category.
Who should attend
The topic suits founders and researchers in climate, food systems, aquaculture and fisheries, and anyone interested in turning an invasive species problem into a business or policy opportunity. Because the group is small, it is also a good chance to meet the panelists and the Mtech Ventures team, which works with startups connected to the University of Maryland.
