INNOAQUA, represented by project partner ECO Imagination, took center stage at the ECO-Evolution event on August 14th. This event, dedicated to fostering sustainable innovation, was the perfect platform to introduce the ambitious scope and groundbreaking concept of the INNOAQUA project to a diverse audience of industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders.
ECO-Evolution brought together thought leaders, innovators, and environmental advocates to explore the latest advancements in sustainable technologies and practices. With a focus on ecological solutions that address global challenges, the event was a hub for knowledge exchange and collaboration. It provided a valuable opportunity to showcase how the INNOAQUA project aligns with the global push towards more sustainable food systems and resource management.
At ECO-Evolution, ECO Imagination presented the INNOAQUA project, an initiative dedicated to pioneering innovative solutions in aquaculture. The presentation highlighted INNOAQUA’s vision of integrating land-based aquaculture systems, such as salmon and microalgae production, to enhance resource utilization, reduce environmental impact, and create new, high-value seafood products.
During the presentation, ECO Imagination explained how INNOAQUA aims to demonstrate the benefits of combining the production of salmon in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) with the cultivation of microalgae. This innovative approach leverages nutrient-rich water from salmon tanks to nourish microalgae, resulting in high biomass productivity and efficient nutrient recycling. The project’s goal is to create a model that can be replicated and scaled up across the aquaculture sector, fostering a new generation of sustainable seafood products.
ECO Imagination also emphasized the importance of research and collaboration in achieving INNOAQUA’s objectives. The project is supported by a consortium of leading researchers, industry partners, and stakeholders across Europe, all committed to advancing sustainable aquaculture practices. By focusing on innovative technologies, smart resource management, and circular economy principles, INNOAQUA is paving the way for a new era of sustainable seafood production.
