B2E CoLAB attends Aquaculture Europe 2023 in Vienna

B2E – Blue Bioeconomy CoLAB (B2E CoLAB) will be participating in Aquaculture Europe 2023, one of the biggest events in the aquaculture sector, which will take place in Vienna, Austria, from September 18 to 21. With the goal of internationalization in mind, this participation is an opportunity to highlight the prominent role that B2E CoLAB plays in promoting innovative solutions in this area.

“This participation fits in with our internationalization objectives, allowing us to present to a range of stakeholders the driving role we play in the blue bioeconomy sector,” says B2E CoLAB coordinator Maria Coelho.

The B2E CoLAB stand will showcase some of the projects in which the institution is involved, reflecting its commitment to innovation and sustainability. In addition, B2E CoLAB will be representing two associates, INESC TEC and the Interdisciplinary Center for Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR), the latter with two specific projects: GREENAQUA and IGNITION. “This collaboration demonstrates B2E CoLAB’s ongoing commitment to promoting excellence and the research and technological capacity of its members,” said Maria Coelho.

Also as part of Aquaculture Europe, on September 21, B2E CoLAB will hold a conference on the results of the study carried out as part of the OmegaPeixe project, which will address consumers’ willingness to pay more for fish enriched with omega-3.

This year, Aquaculture Europe 2023 will be attended by 125 different organizations in the exhibitors’ area, demonstrating the growing importance of aquaculture in the global economy. The event will also include a series of conferences, workshops and scientific sessions, with more than two thousand participants expected.

With a stand located at number 96 of the Messe Wien Exhibition and Congress Center, B2E CoLAB’s participation is a strategic opportunity to promote the excellence of national research and innovation.
