Exporting feed, equipment and solutions to the global aquaculture industry is an important part of the Danish economy, making it crucial that the industry has the best conditions to ensure continued development towards increasingly sustainable food production based on the best and most energy-efficient technologies.
Danish companies will showcase these technologies at the Icelandic Fisheries, Seafood & Aqua Exhibition 2024, with the Danish Export Association organising the Pavilion of Denmark, bringing suppliers to the aquaculture, fishing and fish processing industries.
In Denmark, there’s a strong industry of suppliers to the aquaculture industry, and to strengthen the overall voice of the industry and create the best possible coherence for players in it, the two member organisations Danish Export Association and AquaCircle have merged and will now operate under the name Danish Export - Fish Tech. This ensures that all relevant players in the industry now have a single entry point for export promotion, commercial activities and political advocacy.
The export network Danish Export - Fish Tech brings together Danish feed, equipment, technology, and service suppliers within aquaculture, including turnkey suppliers of systems, manufacturers of small components, feed producers and suppliers of processing equipment. In addition to strengthening exports among companies by organising export promotions and networking activities, the Danish Export Association will now also play a more prominent role in political advocacy through the merger.
“It is important that we can ensure the best possible conditions for industry players by creating a stronger voice together. Our members in Danish Export – Fish Tech are dependent on a strong aquaculture industry in Denmark to be able to develop in the export markets. Therefore, I am pleased that through the merger with AquaCircle we can also create a stronger political voice,” said Martin Winkel Lilleøre, Head of Fish Tech at the Danish Export Association.
