Their products and solutions aim to improve water quality, as in order to succeed with fish farming in closed tanks. “Measure – Analyse – Control” is important when monitoring and controlling the water. With their tool SeaRAS Aquasense, they are able to monitor the H2S in water, which is non-exicisting in the industry today.
Seaguard (Norway) offers services, products and technology development mainly focused on sustainable environmental technology that contributes to maintaining the coastal industry.
Pure Lobster AS (Norway) will be the first to conduct intensive farming of Australian red claw in land-based facilities on large scale. The species is highly fertile, tolerant of various environmental conditions, with a simple reproductive cycle and fast growth. They are combining red claw’s unique features with excisting RAS technology, sustainable organic feed, and fresh Norwegian water.
Seas of Norway (Norway) is a seaweed farming technology company creating innovative cultivation systems and biomass for new product creation. Working in tandem with other aquaculture, they harness nutrients produced by fish and shrimp to grow seaweed while cleaning the ocean, producing oxygen and absorbing carbon. Their aim is to reduce the harmful effects from aquaculture while providing environmentally friendLy biomass to create new products.

MicroClean AS (Norway) has developed a new green technology for disinfecting production tools made of plastic. This technology is supposed to kill listeriosis and bacteria, and it is based on wet heat by microwaves and “radiation”.
Tracio (Iceland) works to keep seafood fresh and safe. Tracio is a startup company with a team of seafood veterans, IoT experts, and lifelong entrepreneurs that want to change how we understand and manage freshness and food safety for Seafood, and most importantly to make seafood more sustainable for our planet.
