Pescapuerta is collaborating in the creation of a new worldwide in the fishing sector, named Fishing Accelerator.

This initiative is driven by Mascato, Opromar, Orpagu, Kaleido Tech and Inxenia Desarrollos Tecnológicos, as well as by Pescapuerta. It is a business accelerator which seeks to attract technology that strengthens all the capacities of the ship owners, transformers and traders.

With this programme, which places the participating companies and Galicia as global references for innovation in the sector, we will boost startups and technological companies from other fields that want to fast-track their projects in the fishing industry.

Fishing Accelerator will cover four large blocks: navigation, fishing gear, product quality and improving productive processes.

Fishing Accelerator will channel the challenges of the participating companies, looking for and selecting those startups whose "disruptive technologies can become the solution to those challenges". The annual programme will seek the verification and incorporation of those technologies through real projects with the companies. It includes, therefore, "a real immersion in the market, including training, pilot tests and the business development". “It’s about creating developments from scratch”, affirms a Pescapuerta spokesperson, which is especially interested in having an efficient logistical software installed.

It is the dynamics of the market itself which has created the need for launching Fishing Accelerator. "The fishing industry has grown exponentially in recent years, but it has not stopped addressing very important changes due to legislation or because of new consumer habits. This has forced the top companies to back innovation to effectively and quickly resolve the new challenges of the industry", claim the promoting companies.

In the image it can be seen how we, the member companies of Fishing Accelerator, cover the different activities of the fishing sector: fishing, processing and marketing.
