Background
The seafood industry has a big potential to meet the increasing need for food production to feed a growing population, and according to Vestlandsmeldinga 2021 this county contributes to over 40 % of the value creation within marine sector I Norway.
Despite the possibilities in the industry, it is a significant need for competent work force and young, new-thinking innovators who can contribute to the industry’s future sustainable growth and development.
Project goals
The aim is to secure talent attraction to the seafood industry, as well as stimulate the six grader’s entrepreneurship, creativity and knowledge. This will contribute to ensuring preconditions for sustainable growth and development to Vestlandet.
We have engaged seafood companies into making a problem for the pupils to solve. Bremnes Seashore, Lerøy Seafood and Bolaks are participating this year and they have focused their issues on sludge, sustainability and climate emissions.
