About the project
Open Blue Sea Farms – Feed the World
As the 3rd generation of his family working in the seafood industry, Brian O’Hanlon began witnessing the early warning signs over the growing global seafood supply crisis at a very young age. At 17 years old, he decided to do something about it and set out to pioneer the development of one of the world's first open ocean fish farms. Today, O’Hanlon is beginning to realize that vision as his farm scales up from the proof of concept phase to an economically viable business.
Entrepreneurs create products, services and jobs. They expand economies, improve people's lives, provide employment (high and rising wages) and bring about competition. A competitive environment, in turn, gives rise to efficiency, meritocracy and further innovations and entrepreneurial drive.
The potent combination of entrepreneurship and technological innovation can forge an environment that is conducive to further enterprise, involving even government policy in supporting entrepreneurship and innovation.
