Deniz Tekerek - Co-Founder & CCO, Archireef

Dennis discusses his start-up, Arcuri, which focuses on restoring coral ecosystems by deploying hardware in the ocean and planting coral fragments over time. He finds the experience at FII8 incredible, appreciating the wide spectrum of people and the high interest in ocean and sustainability issues. Dennis notes a strong sense of community among the start-ups, with mutual support and idea exchange. The priority for Arcuri is expansion, particularly in Saudi Arabia, due to its potential for coral restoration and the attention given to coral ecosystems. Dennis hopes to spotlight their progress and impact at FII91. He emphasizes the importance of understanding geopolitical dynamics alongside financial and business aspects.
