Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), Ireland’s seafood development agency, is hosting a conference next month that aims to position Ireland as the centre of excellence for aquatech. The inaugural Aquatech Business of the Year award is also being announced at the event.
The conference, being held in partnership with global aquaculture accelerator Hatch, and supported by the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund, will gather some of the leading experts in aquaculture, including Kristen Virega, SVP Global Shrimp efishery, Neil Sims, Founder and CEO, Ocean Era and Jennifer Bushman, Sustainable Aquaculture Strategist and Communicator. BIM CEO Caroline Bocquel is also among the key speakers.
Aquatech can be defined as any technology enabling sustainable seafood farming. There are currently 62 aquatech companies operating in Ireland, employing almost 900 and with a combined turnover of €217 million.
This exclusive discussion and knowledge-sharing opportunity will provide a platform for senior policymakers, aquaculture and tech sector thought leaders and investors to learn how Ireland can build its capabilities in this space.
