Know Your Water 🌊 Field-ready buoy system. Ships free across the EU.

We started Cerberus Blue because ocean farmers had no data.

The potential of the oceans is just starting to unfold, and we’ve realized that before we could grow anything, we needed to create the right tools. 🌊

Through our journey, we discovered that understanding what grows where, how well, and why is the foundation for stable growth (e.g. algae, mussels, sponges...) and generally aqua farming.
That’s why we developed cost-effective, accessible alternatives to super expensive equipment, making it easier for communities and businesses to start farming algae without an initial huge invest.

concept to product

Cerberus Blue Systems values the combination of hands-on work and conceptual innovation. Next to substrate testing, prototype building and getting the system ready for market, we challenge the status quo with our vision of an accessible system for maritime cultivation.

The concept "Cerberus - the seaweed project" got awarded with the German Sustainability Prize 2022, the if Design Talent Award 2022 (best of the year) and the C-IDEA Award in 2022, among others. This motivated us to found Cerberus Blue Systems and to explore the world of maritime algae cultivation further.

We spent months exploring Europe’s algae industry, meeting incredible people and passionate enthusiasts. The more we learned, the clearer it became: Algae is awesome — but Europe doesn’t know it yet. We kept hearing the same thing:

“We can’t scale.”
“We’re waiting for demand to catch up.”

The reality?
Farms are ready to grow more algae. But demand isn’t there.
It hit us hard. We’d built a system to make algae farming better — but who needs a farming system if people don’t even know why they should care about algae? For a moment, we wondered:
Did we make a mistake?

We realized that to truly make a difference with algae, we needed to rethink seaweed farming from the ground up. Ask someone on the street about algae farming, and chances are they wouldn’t even know it exists. For algae to become a part of daily life, we must approach maritime farming with the same curiosity and determination that shaped agriculture thousands of years ago. This means understanding its complexities, sharing its potential, and spreading awareness about the untapped resources of the sea.

Most importantly, we need to know algae: where it grows best, why it thrives, and how to cultivate it predictably over the long term.

That’s why we’re currently working on a smart version of our existing cultivation system to gather valuable data for more accurate predictions in the future.
We stick to our belief: seaweed farming should be accessible. Our systems will continue to be designed as cost-effective alternatives to traditional, expensive equipment, making it easier for everyone to unlock algae’s potential.

Join us in growing the blue future.
