Glitnir, along with the Icelandic Embassy in Berlin, German-Icelandic Chamber of Commerce and Fish International, is hosting a new industry conference, focused on the future of the seafood industry in Germany and Iceland, two countries that face similar challenges in the sector.
The conference will take place on February 12 alongside the Fish International exhibition in Bremen.
Key topics:
How do Germany and Iceland meet the challenges for the seafood industry and what are their visions for the future? How would the sustained management of stocks and the protection of the ocean’s ecological systems contribute to the international competitiveness of the two countries?
In Iceland, fishing and fish processing still form the backbone of the country’s economy, whereby Icelandic companies are increasingly operating and investing around the world. The German fishing industry is completely integrated in the EU’s common fisheries policy and subject to joint directives, from harvest rules to processing and marketing.
