Marine markets would not flourish if not for those innovative solutions and companies among us from start-ups to trend setting stock listed operators. The marine industry solution providers are in strong growth: It is a diverse sector of technical and know-how-based innovative companies providing breeding, vaccines, feeds, farming and processing equipment, logistics, traceability and business solutions.
Solution providers focus
– The seafood players cannot live or survive without these companies and even less in the future, says prof. Øystein Lie, manager of Marelife.
At the Oslo international seafood conference NASF, these innovative companies will be focused in a separate Marine Innovation Seminar om Tuesday March 6th. The seminar will be a natural gateway for solution providers seeking new business among the worlds leading seafood manufacturers gathering on the NASF Conference 7-8 March.
The highly innovative solution providers play an important role in the global fisheries and seafood industry. The big seafood operators and manufacturers do certainly not have all in house solutions and hence they depend on state of the art providers to carry their businesses in a cost efficient and sustainable way.
– The NASF Pre-conference maximizes cross talk between sectors and disciplines in market, supply, solutions, finance and thus optimizes the ecosystem for innovation, says prof. Lie.

This new feature to the NASF is organized by SINTEF Fishery and Aquaculture and MareLife; with contributions from the Norwegian Seafood Federation/MARING, The Norwegian Seafood Research Fund (FHF), EATIP, EU Interreg project (Blue Bio) and the Marine Norwegian wide network ‘Storby MARIN’.
The Pre-conference co-interacts with NASF main sessions in a very efficient way: 1) A selected group of the solution provider companies are presented at the NASF corporate finance seminar 2) The innovative cases will be exposed at the NASF innovation market place throughout the whole conferance 3) Our innovation prize will be awarde during the NASF conference dinner March 7th
In the marine ingredients and marine biotechnology sector, innovation allows us to exploit marine by-products from fishery and farming, from hitherto less utilized resources (krill, calanus etc) as well as from bioreactor based production (algae, yeasts) to manufacture an array of novel high-price products.
