National and international presenters, participants from a various type of organisations and companies will attend next week’s GATH conference in Ålesund. The conference is the first of its kind. – We look forward to spotlighting the aquaculture industry, technology, leadership, and sustainability. Including trends in aquaculture, as well as community development and building strong regions, says chairman of the board Per Helge Devold in GATH.
GATH set its ambitions less than a year ago – with a committed board, world-leading member companies and a steady administration we are ready to organize a three-day aquaculture conference for over 300 participants, as well as four excursions to companies in the region. Sparebanken SMN1, Sparebanken Møre and Sparebanken Vest are key contributors to the event.
National and international speakers
The conference puts the region on the aquaculture map. Sunnmøre is an important place you come to, to see and discuss technology. And furthermore, how this can contribute to increased innovation and value creation in the aquaculture industry. There will be participants from all over the country and several international actors.
– -We will discuss challenges and opportunities in the aquaculture industry. We promise a good mix of inspiration, interaction, provocation and subjects which together will contribute to skills boost for the industry and the region, says board member of GATH Harald Tom Nesvik.
