The £10 million UK Seafood Innovation Fund will support the UK’s fishing, aquaculture and seafood industries to deliver cutting-edge technology and innovation.
The fund is open to all organisations within the UK or EU who have an innovative idea meeting the objectives of the fund. EU organisations can apply as a project lead, or can be part of an application as a subcontractor. Collaborative projects including both seafood sector experts and technology businesses are encouraged.
The fund will support projects, ideas and technologies that aim to disrupt the seafood sector.
Disruptive innovation is when the application of the technology or idea has a significant impact on the industry or the market. Projects should consider these priorities:
- sustainability
- innovation
- productivity
- collaboration
- management
- risk reduction
The closing date for applications is 26 June 2020.
