The 15th edition of AquaVision will convene global aquaculture leaders to discuss the future of blue food and its role in feeding a growing global population. The conference will take place in Stavanger, Norway from June 10-12, 2024.
AquaVision is a biennial aquaculture business conference focused on meaningful discussions surrounding the challenges and opportunities within the sector and has been organized by Skretting since 1996.
The three central themes of AquaVision 2024 are Acting towards a sustainable future; Dealing with market disruptions in an ever-changing world; and Beyond tomorrow.
“We are very excited to share this year’s central themes. The number of people suffering from acute food insecurity in the world grew 1.5 times between 2019 and 2022 and multiple external factors pushed food prices to all-time highs. It is now more important than ever to secure access to high-quality protein in a sustainable, future-proof manner. Innovations such as artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies have the potential to accelerate transformative change and support this ambition. I am looking forward to discussing this and more during AquaVision 2024,” said Therese Log Bergjord, CEO of Skretting.
