Main Stage
  • How do we elevate full utilisation from concept to commercial practice? What will it take to shift from viewing side streams as a disposal cost to high value ingredients and core revenue streams? What replicable models can the industry learn from?
  • Where in the seafood value chain does the greatest side‑stream value lie, and how can stakeholders collaborate to build reproducible, traceable, certification‑ready supply chains? How does side stream potential differ across key applications?
  • Which innovations are currently shaping the frontier of side stream potential? Which technologies from agriculture, pharmaceuticals and biomaterials are closest to commercial scale?
  • What barriers to scale remain, capex, regulatory timelines, market readiness, operational risk, and what does an investable offtake model look like to unlock full‑utilisation growth?
