A closer look at solutions for the
next generation marine sector.
The marine agenda is one of the most import-
ant agendas, and the question is how to initiate
new blue innovations to feed the world.
- This is also the main slogan on the Marine
Innovation Day in Bergen Tuesday March 4, says
professor Øystein Lie.
The conference gathers the marine world’s top
scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs as well as
the trend setting producers, solutions providers
and investors.
The keynote speakers will cover the following
main topics under the headline Blue Innovations
to Feed the World:
- Next generation aquaculture
- Sustainable exploitation of marine resources
- New blue innovation “climate”
- Visions and ideas to be shared. Entrepreneurs
will present projects for the betterment of the
sector, says Lie. He and Tanja Hoel, manager at
Fiskeriforum Vest, welcome to the most import-
ant marine innovation conference.
Dilek Ayhan, deputy minister at the Norwe-
gian Ministry of trade, industry and fisheries,
opens the conference. She will especially appeal
to young talents to mobilize solutions for next
generation marine sector.
New twist
Hoel and Lie informs that Marine Innovation Day
this year will have a new twist, with a Round
Table debate where speakers and audience will
be challenged. In addition the conference offers
support for connecting between interested par-
ties searching for business partner opportunities
during the conference day. An open Innovation
Bar supported by different media, apps and chan-
nels, from the conference facebook page, twitter,
virtual anonymous chat room to sms-service.
- We offer support for using the different
technologies available for communication, in the
comfort of the conference, as tools for setting up
one-2-one meetings, says Øystein Lie.

sion of NASF. Marine Innovation Day is organized
