Presentation

A booming seafood industry with a focus on sustainability.
Today, all major seafood companies have their headquarters in Greater Bergen.

This gives great opportunities for companies in the value chain. There are still challenges in the aquaculture sector to be solved and therefore we are welcoming companies to the region that can take part in solving some of these challenges.

In the recent years several tech companies have settled in Bergen to tak part in developing the supply chain to the aquaculture industry.

Are you interested in meeting us during the NASF, please get in touch with us.

The fish farming sector is set to grow in the decades to come, reaching an estimated 550 BNOK by 2050. We are proud to be at the forefront of this field, developing the next generation of sustainable farms at sea.

Bergen has a strong research environment, centred on the Norwegian School of Economics and The University of Bergen. The latter institution includes renowned marine and aquaculture research departments and centres.

The city’s long history with fisheries also makes it the natural home for the Institute of Marine Research and the Directorate of Fisheries.

The city’s NCE Seafood Innovation Cluster brings together all of the leading suppliers of farmed Atlantic salmon, together with many exciting aquaculture start-ups.
