The EU supports fisheries innovations, e.g. through the EFF. From this, individual countries develop their fisheries innovations agendas and innovation programs. Individual fishermen use these and private funds for their own innovations.
On behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), a two day conference will be organized for fishermen and policy makers on fisheries innovations.
The aim of this conference is an exchange of ideas and challenges of individual countries developing their fisheries innovation agendas and how fishermen innovate their fisheries. From this, we aim to identify promising approaches, novel ideas, as well as more synergy between initiatives. Furthermore information will be shared about a European Fisheries Technology Platform in creation (EFTP).
