After lunch, we had cutting-edge startups pitching on the stage for an audience award.
This year, Tracio from Iceland won the Seafood Innovation Award 2020. This includes business consulting from experts, cluster membership, and access to our upcoming Seafood Innovation Portal. Tracio is developing a new system based on chemical sensors and visual indicators that detect spoilage gases, and with machine learning offer dynamic expiry dates and freshness indication all the way from production to the fridge at home.
