About

Sven Winkler Von Stiernhielm is an engineer and designer. Sven has leveraged his background in biological sciences to create technologies ranging from human health to sustainable food production. As a co-founder of PERA, Sven helped to develop the world’s first smart health assistant for people with bowel incontinence. His individual project, Ziwa Vision, is a hardware and computer vision solution for fish farming companies worldwide. This technology significantly reduces feed waste, reducing environmental damage whilst saving money. Before MA/MSc Innovation Design Engineering, Sven managed the design, construction and operations of production facilities and a new R&D facility for sustainable protein companies in London and Tanzania.

Ziwa Vision introduces an intelligent way to feed farmed fish more sustainably. It is a hardware and computer vision solution that can significantly reduce feed waste, reducing environmental damage whilst saving money. This technology improves evaluation of fish behaviour via real-time machine learning analysis and alerts fish farmers to stop providing feed at the optimal time. Ziwa means ‘Lake’ in Swahili
