Green Aquaculture Platform (GAP): catalyzing a sustainable sector growth and export

Tildelt: kr 0,30 mill.

Building a platform that can secure a rapid and responsible green transformation in the aquaculture sector requires a broad and extensive partnership across different value chains and actors. The partners in the preproject that will work together to build the initial concepts and final consortium include: NORCE, one of Norway´s largest R&D institutes with research and innovation activities and infrastructures that cover the entire value chain, The NCE Seafood Innovation Cluster that works to strengthen and internationalize businesses, R&D, innovation and education in the seafood sector, Lerøy Seafood Group (LSG), as one of the largest salmon producers and forward thinking to a greener aquaculture sector, and Ernst & Young AS that plays a central role in guiding investment in the aquaculture sector through detailed analysis of business models and investment cases, as well as of potential for circular business models. GAP will be developed in dialog with the Bellona Foundation to ensure that the emerging platform is fit to further the long-term success of the sustainability transition in Norwegian fish aquaculture. We will seek to broaden the partnership to include other R&D institutes, fish farmers, aquaculture clusters (e.g STIIM Aqua Cluster), feed companies (e.g. Cargill, Skretting), and a wide range of technical suppliers from big (IBM, Kongsberg, AQUA Group, SureAQ) to smaller start-ups and SMEs (e.g. Bluegrove, Aquabyte, Searis, Prototech). The strategy to shape the consortium will be decided in the first meetings . The partners will exploit their existing research and innovation infrastructures for fish and feed ingredient production, e.g Ocean Innovation Norwegian Catapult Centre´s RASLab, NBioC, National Algae Pilot Mongstad, and Blue Research R&D license (submitted), LSG´s Pipefarm, but also those from partners that will join the consortium. The preproject will allow GAP to engage with this large consortium to make a solid green platform proposal.
