The Scottish Seafood Partnership is launching a new fish technology and innovation project to help Scotland’s processing industry to increase their offering of added value products, whilst also reducing the costs of production and route to market.
Fish technology and innovation experts have been recruited throughout the UK to advise individual businesses in Scotland on how to improve their output. They will also promote industry cooperation in joint innovation projects.
The initiative will help 25 companies, by providing up to £2,000 each to fund the services of seafood experts, with the businesses themselves contributing 20% towards the costs.
Assistance is available for a wide variety of projects, including new product or packaging development, branding and marketing, e-commerce, food photography and nutritional analysis of products.
Help is also available with factory design, production efficiencies, process or work flow design, use of new technology, and coaching towards standards such as BRC, SALSA and higher level food safety, as well as initiatives to utilise or reduce waste.
