Close to 70 presentations from a wide range of organisations and companies will present their advancements or technology solutions on the first day of the 19th NASF. Additionally, last year's successful newcomer NASF Tec is coming back in revived edition. 20 companies are to present their proven cutting edge solutions, that are market ready. All delegates will be able to visit these companies in the NASF Tec exhibition area during the 3 conference days.

Another highlight of the conference is a session on the potential of gene editing technology in advancing fish health and sustainable aquaculture. Gene editing tools such as CRISPR enable precise and targeted genomic changes which result in desirable traits such as disease resistance and sterility. Furthermore, a roundtable discussion session on the pivotal role of insects in our food system will be held on the same day along with another discussion focussed on whitefish and shrimp quality.

Major highlight of the Technology Tuesday is the Seafood innovation award candidate showcase. The nominated seafood industry start-up companies showcase their technology solutions and a live voting from the audience on the winter of the Seafood Innovation Award 2024.
