Providing opportunities for fishing and aquaculture stakeholders to engage with the latest global information and technology, learn and network from leaders, innovators and practitioners in the electric and hybrid marine space is key to enabling innovation and adoption. Participants will experience and engage with technology, approaches and people via the expo and conference program.
Through attending, participants will build their capabilities and share knowledge with peers/stakeholders to inform, enable and drive change in Australia. The project intends to maintain momentum through this investment, empowering stakeholders to communicate and extend their experiences to contextualise opportunities for Australia and encourage future participation and attendance at similar events.
Final report
I note that the US Expo was of a much smaller size than the European Expo and did not have the displays and working models available to interact with. There is no doubt that a visit to the European Expo for Seafood industry participants would be very valuable. This should be targeted at those parts of industry than could not attend the US forum due to season dates ( ie Trawl).
The participation of Dr Jennifer Marshall gave those attending a link into the FRDC executive and the relationship will be further strengthen by her attendance and interaction with the team.
