Innovation programs

Like all industries, fisheries must adapt and change as the world is changing – it is time for the industry to network

The finnish operational program of EMFF includes innovation programs for network-based development of fisheries, fisheries environmental innovations and sustainable aquaculture. In addition, the development of marketing and promotion is supported by multiannual development programs.

The aim of the innovation programs is development work which benefits the whole fisheries industry more permanently. The programs enhance the effectiveness of research and development activities and the opportunities for companies to invest in new technologies and products. Work is done in networks, which promotes fisheries product development, strengthens private and public partnerships, and encourages courageous experiments.

Innovation programs do not specify detailed measures in advance, but programs define effectiveness goals. This model also provides network actors with the ability to respond to changing situations and needs, as well as the ability to solve broad and multi-dimensional challenges. The programs are coordinated by the Natural Resources Institute, Aktion Österbotten and Pro Kala.
