ppt_v2.0_20192 Strategy with new service offerings will be presented on Tuesday, January 22nd at 2:00 PM-6:00 PM at the premises of Lerøy Seafood and Cargill on Marineholmen followed by a tour of the new premises.
The NCE Seafood has for three years facilitated good innovation projects between industry, academia and the public sector. The new strategy calls for an expanded collaboration with entrepreneurs and the capital environment to contribute to increased sustainable growth in the seafood cluster.
In addition to the existing focus areas of Knowledge and Innovation, the new strategy includes Entrepreneurship and Commercialization as a new area of activity and services. This will contribute to new ideas, products and services for the further development of the entire value chain in the seafood cluster. In this way, Norway will be positioned globally as a center for innovation, entrepreneurship and capital in seafood and attract talents, companies and capital that support the work for sustainable growth in seafood.

The goal is a forward-looking, innovative and sustainable Norwegian seafood production.
