Our Story
SmartBlue was born out of a student-led vision to bring meaningful change to Mauritius’s fishing community. Through research, field visits, and collaboration with local stakeholders, we realized the urgent need for a unified digital platform that gives power back to the hands of those who depend on the sea.
