The Ocean
is Earth’s life support system.
Its blue pulse sustains all life above and below.
It is home to vast and largely unexplored biodiversity, an irreplaceable biological heritage that must be better understood and protected.

The Ocean is biology’s next frontier

The Ocean is not a single ecosystem, but a vast collection of living environments shaped by depth, light, pressure, temperature and chemistry. These conditions have generated exceptional biological diversity and distinctive adaptations. Yet marine biodiversity remains poorly mapped and only a fraction has been scientifically characterized.

A VAST LIVING SYSTEM
Marine life extends from sunlit coastal waters to the deepest and most extreme environments on Earth.
IMMENSE BIODIVERSITY
Marine life spans extraordinary genetic, molecular and functional diversity, much of it still unknown.
DISTINCTIVE BIOLOGY
Extreme environments have shaped distinctive molecules and biological functions across marine life.
LARGELY UNEXPLORED
Only a fraction of marine biodiversity has been collected, sequenced or biologically characterized.
A HERITAGE TO PROTECT
Understanding marine biodiversity strengthens the case for protecting the ecosystems that sustain it.

BluKap impact measurement

BluKap strategy prioritizes investments that drive positive impact for the Ocean and the communities which depend on it.

BluKap has adopted the Ocean Impact Navigator™ to evaluate its investments based on clear and evidence-based KPIs. 

It offers synergies with wider global, national or sector-specific impact, reporting and disclosure standards.

The opportunity in Ocean Biotechnology

Marine species yet to be described

91%

An estimated 91% of marine species remain undescribed, while only a fraction of known species have been sequenced or biologically characterized. Advances in sequencing, bioinformatics and biomanufacturing are opening this frontier to systematic discovery and development.

>$200

Long-term addressable market opportunity

>$200

Marine-derived technologies can compete across established biotechnology markets in our target sectors, representing a long-term addressable opportunity of more than $200bn.

From biological potential to investment

We invest in two models: proprietary biotechnology assets targeting licensing or acquisition as development risk is reduced, and industrial biotechnology businesses that must demonstrate scalable production and commercialization. Both require defensible IP, credible evidence, market relevance, clear exit pathways and measurable impact.

What makes marine biology investable

Proprietary science and IP
Credible evidence and milestones
Development or scale pathway
Established market relevance
Licensing and exit pathways
Measurable impact

BluKap investment commitment

We aim to

Invest in sustainable and circular Blue Economy

Seek profitable ventures with demonstrable impact

Promote clean technologies and renewable energy

Be accountable and transparent on investment

Seek high quality projects

Favor projects with global impact

Measure the blue impact of our investments

Embed UN SDGs in our investment process

We shall not

Invest in linear economy ventures

Invest in non proven models or solutions

Accept a status-quo on ocean polluting energies

Tolerate any risk of corruption

Compromise investment quality for quantity

Support local political agendas

Invest in projects where impact cannot be measured

Back projects if they harm the Ocean
