Profilbilde Invitation to Annual Meeting for members and partners in the Cluster
 
We want to welcome all our members and partners to the first Annual Members meeting in the Cluster. This is a forum where employees from the whole organization in our Cluster members and partners are invited. Are you interested in building network, get updates from the Seafood industry and contribute to our joint aim in developing a sustainable seafood industry – this is the place to be!

The Seafood Innovation Cluster started with a vision; that strengthening long-term industry collaboration would enable our partners to faster sustainable growth. In January 2019 we presented the Clusters new strategy to scale up our innovation ecosystem for new knowledge and solutions that will increase sustainability to our members. Our mission is to create strong collaboration model across a large ecosystem that strongly contributes to attracting talent, R&D investments, risk capital and corporates.

In the Annual meeting we want to follow up our strategic areas with presentations and workshops. Output from the annual meeting will be included into the Clusters further work.

The first part of the meeting, key speakers will do short introductions on the topics to be discussed in the workshops. In the workshops the topics will be discussed in depth and the output will be valuable input  when planning future activities in the Cluster. We kindly ask you to choose two workshops you would like to attend.

Topics to be discussed in the meeting:

Digital transformation – how do we move to the next level?
Digital competence – how can we secure that companies have the right competence? 
How can we achieve increased fish health and fish welfare on site?
Network, compentence and capital. What is the biggest challenge for the start-ups in our Cluster?
