Stakeholder Consultation for INNOAQUA’s Sustainability and Circularity Assessment

Innoaqua - Stakeholder Consultation

At INNOAQUA, stakeholder engagement plays a key role in ensuring that our project developments are aligned with real market and sector needs, consumer expectations, and regulatory challenges.

What are we doing?

As part of our Work Package 5 activities on socio-economic impact assessment, life cycle sustainability, and circularity assessment, we are launching a stakeholder consultation process to gather valuable insights from experts and organisations across:

  • Seafood producers
  • Food manufacturers and processors
  • Regulatory bodies
  • Retailers and distributors
  • Consumers
  • Restaurants and food service providers
  • Investors and financial institutions
  • Environmental and conservation groups
  • Local communities and academia

Our aim is to better understand their needs and expectations in relation to the circularity and sustainability performance of the INNOAQUA project and its developments.

How are we doing this?

To facilitate this process, INNOAQUA is implementing tailored consultation activities, including workshops, interviews, and structured questionnaires designed for the different stakeholder groups involved in the project ecosystem.

This approach will allow us to collect both broad and stakeholder-specific feedback, supporting a more comprehensive and representative assessment of INNOAQUA’s innovations and their sustainability and circularity performance.
