[Bioresources]

Organised by: Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique, EMBRC-France

Keywords: Bioresources, applications, Research infrastructures, Service, Industry support

Location: "Petit Théâtre"

(Session in English)

Marine bioresources are at the heart of economic activities in the maritime regions, providing the food we eat, the air we breathe, and to an increasing, extent new products and a new frontier to explore in terms of biotechnological advances. Brittany and the surrounding regions have a wealth of expertise and projects valorising biological resources from the sea and continue to drive and innovate the biotech sector. This session will give a flavour of what Brittany had to offer of activities related to marine bioresources in public-private partnerships, industrial R&D, and fundamental research, and how to access the marine ecosystems, its biological resources and related expertise through the international network of research infrastructures present in Brittany.

The economic potential of marine bioresources is a vehicle for the creation of businesses or diversification of companies already established. These companies face socio-economic and legal issues, including access to bioresources. They are faced with many questions. This session will follow a transversal approach and to focus on two main issues:

How shall the company take position to the market?
How shall the company manage intellectual property to integrate into this market?

These questions will be addressed by academics as well as professionals of development. They will also be illustrated by feedbacks from the creators of companies using marine bioresources in different sectors of activity.
After a discussion about these two main issues, we propose a more playful session. Come test your creativity during an innovative workshop where researchers and business creators will share their skills and visions in order to enhance the marine bioresources.…

[Production, harvesting, fishing and aquaculture]

Organised by: Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique, Ifremer

Keywords: research, protection, evolution, monitoring, digital fishing, feamp

Location: Room 1

(Session in English)

The workshop will be dedicated to sustainable fishing with different thematics. Increase knowledge on the state of fish stocks and marine biodiversity is essential to a sustainable management of the fisheries. Professionals, enterprises and researchers work in close collaborations to increase knowledge and understanding of the ecosystems and their evolution regarding climate change. Illustrations with different on-going projects (national, European) dealing with observation, data collecting, capture and selectivity.
Another issue deals with the increasing needs of the markets for seafood and marine proteins for their safety and dietary properties. Indeed one of the main challenges of the century is to ensure a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable seafood production. Interest in marine proteins naturally rich in valuable nutrients for a healthy diet is continuously growing. Innovative solutions are currently being implemented in Europe to improve the safety and dietary properties of seafood. On the same way the exploitation of the whole biomass (byproducts) is becoming a strategic issue (biorefinery concept).
National and European projects will be highlighted during the workshop. As a transversal issue, the WS will also be the opportunity to highlight the increasing place of the digitalisation in the different domains of the fishing sector.
