Dear Stakeholder;

We are very excited to hold the first ever Technology Innovations Forum – Creating a More Sustainable and Responsible Seafood Industry in Asia, in Bangkok, Thailand on January 22 and 23 2015. Attendees from all over Asia and with an interest in sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in Asia are welcome. This is a new opportunity, bringing attention to the role and potential of innovation and new technologies in improving the fishing and aquaculture industries and bringing different sectors together in provocative dialogue to discuss and debate tools and solutions that can mean new ways to ensure the future sustainability of these important industries and protect livelihoods in the region. The Forum will be held just before the next Steering Committee Meetings for the Shrimp and FIP Protocol Steering Committee meetings. 

Forum space is limited to 70 attendees and participant and attendant diversity is a priority. Registration is now open and is accessible here.  Check out the tentative agenda.

Forum Highlights

• Innovation Showcase: Do you want to showcase your innovative solution, tool or technology? The Forum will include an Innovation Showcase featuring entrepreneurs, organizations and companies developing and implementing innovative technology and business solutions to address sustainable fisheries and aquaculture challenges in Asia. 
• Challenge Award: The Forum will accept and evaluate applications for entities using innovative technology solutions to address sustainable fisheries and aquaculture sector challenges in Asia. Finalists will be recognized at the Forum with chance to receive $10,000 in award funding.   Full details on the award and how to apply can be found here. Applications are due by December 15, 2014. 

We are looking for partners that can play an important role in shaping the focus of the event in a variety of ways including identifying participants and organizations to be featured; event outreach through their networks and communities; or co-sponsoring the reception. 

If you are interested in presenting, displaying at the innovation showcase, or want to explore partnership opportunities, please email me or Jill Shemin the Forum's Technology Innovations consultant, at seafoodfor...@nathaninc.com. 

We look forward to seeing you in Bangkok in January.

Sincerely, 

Corey Peet
