Aquaculture and clusters in Norway - -how we work with them
Dr. Åse Kaurin
Norwegian Aquaculture is a Global Player Norwegian salmon: the strongest global brand in seafood exports
Exports: ZAR 125 billion Annual GDP contribution: ZAR 80 billion 48 000 jobs Ripple effect on employment and value creation in the supplying industry contributes to another ZAR 60 billion Expected to grow to ZAR 970 billion by 2050 Norway is currently among the world's leading nations in
marine research
Fish Species in Norwegian Aquaculture Salmon – by far the largest
Halibut
Lumpfish
Cod
Trout
Catfish
Wrasse – to fight lice

NCE Aquaculture Key figures: • Partner companies: 20 • Employees: 2 500 • Turnover: ZAR 21,5 billion
Key partners: • Cermaq Norway • Nordlaks • Nova Sea • AKVA group • Skretting • Patogen Analyse Research institutions: • SINTEF • NTNU • NORD University
The cluster focuses on value creation and innovation associated with commercial production of farmed fish and seafood for the global market. Member companies represent a complete value chain with proven experience and success in industrialized production of salmon. Areas of interest: Production optimization, Marin biotech, Robotics, Feed production, Technology, Fish health, Environment, Offshore farming
NCE Aquatech Mid-Norway is the centre for technology based supplier industry and technology oriented research. The core of the cluster is a complete aquaculture supplier industry. The cluster also include large fish farmers and fish processing as end users of technology, and world-leading institutions for technology-based research and education. Areas of interest: Sustainable production, technology, innovation platforms, export of technology, development of industrialised aquaculture in new countries
Key figures: • Partner companies: 100 • Employees: 15 000 • Turnover: ZAR 83 billion
Key partners: • AKVA Group • Aqualine • Mørenot Aquaculture • Aqualine • Goodtech • Sensomar • Kongsberg Seatex • Salmar Farming • Lerøy • Marine Harvest • Fugro Oceanor Research institutions: • SINTEF/NTNU • Norwegian Veterinary
Institute
NCE Seafood Innovation The Seafood Innovation Cluster has achieved a global position as the world's largest producer of farmed salmon offering farmed salmon and processed seafood to customers in more than 70 markets worldwide. One of the most complete seafood clusters in the world, and represents a fully integrated value chain. Areas of interest Knowledge production, sustainable production, supplier development, big data, technology
Key figures: • Partner companies: 70 • Employees: 15 000 • Turnover: ZAR 100 billion • R & D Budget: ZAR 700
million
Key partners: • Lerøy • Grieg Seafood • EWOS • Marine Harvest • Pharmaq • Salmon Group • MSD Animal Health • Salmo Breed
Main research institutions: • University of Bergen • Institute of Marine
Research
Support from the cluster program • Financial support:
50% co-funding with cluster partners Committment from industry is essential; cash speaks
1.Cluster development; • Facilitation, strategy development, networking, branding, pre-studies
2. Innovation 3. Competence building 4. Cluster-to-cluster cooperation
• Advisory services: Experienced project advisors • Capacity building: Courses, seminars, study trips • Networking: Between cluster projects, transnational cooperation • Profiling: Cluster branding and communication
Some Supporting Programs – also for clusters 11% of RCN’s support goes to marine sector
SFI - Centres for Research-based Innovation The Large-scale Programme on Aquaculture Research Regional research funds Sustainable Innovation in Food and Bio-based Industries Ocean technology program Forny2020; commercialization of research Skattefunn (tax deduction scheme) INTPART: Long-term partnerships between Norwegian and
international universities
• European Union; JPI-Oceans (The Joint Programming Initiative Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans)
SFI – Centres for Research-based Innovation The SFI scheme promotes innovation by supporting long-term research through close cooperation between R&D intensive companies and prominent research institutions. Funding:8 years - ZAR 18 million yearly Ongoing SFIs in aquaculture: EXPOSED – Exposed Aquaculture Operations Will enable safe and sustainable seafood production in exposed coastal and
ocean areas through technological innovations CtrlAQUA – Centre for Closed-containment Aquaculture Innovations in closed-containment aquaculture systems, where the salmon is
separated from the outside environment by a tight barrier, will be focused Sea Lice Research Centre (SLRC) Will search for development of new methods for lice control and shorten the
time from basic research to new products and tools for parasite control

Does public money help?
Statistics Norway:
1 000 000 in support Skattefunn
1,2 to 1,7 man-labour year
1 800 000 annual value creation
7 % net return
