sustainable aquaculture innovation centre
SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE INNOVATION CENTRE Driving, sharing and nurturing
innovation Launched in 2014, SAIC is part of the Innovation Centres programme,
which aims to drive innovation in key economic sectors. SAIC’s mission is to
transform aquaculture by unlocking sustainable growth through innovation
excellence. This means we work to reduce the environmental footprint and
increase the economic impact of aquaculture. Connecting businesses and
academics, we fund and support commercially relevant, collaborative research
that aims to deliver solutions to key sector challenges. We safeguard jobs and
revenue through projects that result in spin-out businesses, new markets, and
increased productivity. We also attract, educate and upskill the aquaculture
workforce through funded university places and tailored training programmes. We
provide an independent voice, offering science-based insight and knowledge
exchange. Throughout our work, we strive for a spirit of support, agility,
integrity and collaboration.
