The participants put forward solutions for cooling systems, a camera for filming the catch, solutions for improving on-board telecommunications and compacting, crew management, software for optimising fishing and even an un-manned submarine vehicle set to revolutionise trawling.
Following the meetings held yesterday between members and technology firms, it is hoped that results will soon be available that demonstrate, once again, that open innovation and collaboration between companies is the key to progress in a sector as seemingly traditional as fishing.
