Bergen-based investment firm Momentum raised close to NOK 200 million (€18 million/$21 million) through its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) fund to plow into maritime-related technology companies, attracting one major seafood industry investor.

Momentum Managing Partner Arve Janbu Fresvik said carbon footprint and social impact will be high on the new fund's list, two factors that the seafood industry -- aquaculture in particular -- have touted as strengths.
