The digitalization of the seafood industry is happening at a pace few could have predicted just a few years ago. Sensors, drones, data capture, AI and new platforms are setting the stage for everything from production and fish health to decision support and sustainability.
To keep up with developments, the industry must build new expertise, and there is an urgent need for it. That is why NCE Seafood is inviting you to the Seafood Digital course on June 8–9 , a skills upgrade developed together with NHH and leading players in the industry.
Digital competence is crucial for future value creation and competitiveness in the seafood industry.
Get tailored digital insights – from technology to strategy
Seafood Digital is designed to meet an urgent need: for leaders and employees in the seafood industry to understand how digital technologies impact operations, organization and strategy. The program covers everything from digitalization strategy and data understanding to digital ecosystems, digital transformation and security.
The course not only provides technical perspectives, it shows how technology, economics, regulations and organizational development are interconnected.
– There is no limit to how many people need digital skills
According to Trude Jansen Hagland, CEO of NCE Seafood Innovation, the demand for digital training has been high for a long time. She points out that it is not only senior managers who need a competency upgrade, but leaders throughout the organization.
Taught by one of the country's leading experts
The professional responsibility lies with Jon Iden , professor at NHH and one of Norway's leading experts in digitalization and digital transformation. He leads the participants through two days that combine theory, concrete cases and insights from the industry.
Participants thus not only gain professional knowledge - but also practical issues from companies in the same industry, including topics such as digital maturity, technological opportunities and risks, privacy and digital security.
From technostress to control: – Now I understand what is required
In previous courses, topics such as digital workflow, technostress and data security have hit participants in the middle of their everyday work. Several managers have described how they have suddenly gained language, understanding and tools to work more systematically with digital development in their own businesses. One example is how participants gained insight into traceability data for farmed salmon, a concrete demonstration of how technology and data are changing the value chain in practice.
The companies that succeed are the ones that understand data
One of the main reasons why Seafood Digital is so effective is that the course is based on the industry's actual digital challenges: enormous amounts of data, new technological systems and the need for better decision-making.
For managers who must navigate increasingly complex requirements for operations, reporting, security and production, this becomes a skill that is no longer "nice to have", but necessary.
A strong professional environment – and a unique meeting place
Seafood Digital also creates space for the exchange of experiences between leaders from across the industry. Previous cohorts have highlighted the combination of heavy subject matter expertise, practical cases and discussions with other participants as one of the greatest strengths of the program. The course will thus become a meeting place to build the digital network the industry desperately needs.
Ready to elevate digital competence – June 8–9
With increasing technological requirements, new regulatory guidelines and a rapidly changing working world, NCE Seafood Innovation points out that digital competence is one of the most important investments the industry can make in its leaders.
The Seafood Digital course on June 8–9 provides just that: a strategic, practical and industry-friendly introduction to digital transformation – tailored for the seafood industry.
