An interesting meeting on opportunities in the Icelandic fisheries sector has just ended, a meeting hosted by Matís, the AVS Fund and the Association of Fish Processing Plants.
The meeting was well attended and about 160 people came to listen to the speeches of Þorsteinn Már Baldvinsson, CEO of Samherji, and Sveinn Margeirsson, division manager at Matís.
The aim of the meeting was 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.
Þorsteinn Már's speech can be found here and Sveinn's talk can be found here.
