Benchmark Genetics is pleased to announce that we are once again a proud sponsor of the North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF), the world’s leading seafood business conference.
Bergen has always been central to our organisation. It is home to our main office and serves as a key hub for innovation, research, and collaboration across the global aquaculture industry. As a leader in aquaculture genetics, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth and advancing solutions that support the future of seafood production.
NASF’s annual three‑day programme brings together industry leaders from across the world to explore markets, technology developments, sustainability strategies, investment opportunities, and the major challenges that shape the seafood sector. As sponsors, we are dedicated to supporting open dialogue, collaboration, and innovation across the global aquaculture community.
