“AQUASUR Tech offers the possibility of being able to match technology gaps with suppliers, thinking that they are the creators of solutions that can transform aquaculture so that it can feed the world by 2030,” explained Paula Miranda, aquaculture and agrotechnology project manager at GL Events. The event was organized by Fisa and GL Events, which will be held at the Fisa and GL Events’ regional offices, so that salmon producers can see, in a workshop, the solutions that are available or the pilots or solution projects that are being developed. The fair organized by Fisa and GL Events, which is also supported by the Association of Salmon and Trout Producers of Magallanes, is designed in such a way that salmon producers will be available, in technical committees, with decision-makers, and suppliers will be able to present their technologies and knowledge transformations. “The fair will be open to the community but we also want it to have a look inside the industry. The invitation is to the production companies to participate in the technological offer that will be present at AQUASUR Tech, as well as to get involved with the different actors that will be presenting these technological ideas. Likewise, we want to build this event together with the producing companies, to generate this connection to create this initiative”, said Carlos Odebret, president of the Association of Salmon and Trout Producers of Magallanes. According to the representative of the regional producers, “AQUASUR Tech is a great opportunity to form and build aquaculture culture in the region. The industry already has a size, structure and production chain that must be introduced into the local culture, and thus insert us with the community, the workers and all the actors”. The event will include technology demonstration stands and a congress that aims to connect global trends with local initiatives and case studies. “We hope that this fair will become a recurring event, to be held every odd-numbered year before AQUASUR, and that it will bring cutting-edge technologies to the Magallanes Region”, concluded Paula Miranda.
