Þorsteinn Már Baldvinsson, CEO of Samherji, and Sveinn Margeirsson, division manager at Matís, discuss opportunities in the Icelandic fisheries sector at an open meeting on Thursday. Dec 3 at 08:30 at Hilton Reykjavik Nordica Hotel, Suðurlandsbraut 2.
The meeting is hosted by Matís, the AVS fund and the Association of Fish Processing Plants.
The aim of the meeting is to shed light on opportunities and possibilities for better utilization and increased value. Icelanders are at the forefront of the utilization of marine resources and have strong and powerful fisheries companies with years of experience in meeting the needs of the market. But our raw material is a limited resource and therefore it is necessary to make the best use of it and create great value from it.
It could be that we are missing out on opportunities by often exporting unprocessed raw materials, we can make better use of our well-educated people in development and marketing, we can make better use of the opportunities inherent in the source of the raw material, and so on.
This meeting can shed light on the future possibilities of the Icelandic fisheries sector.
