THE CONFERENCES

OF AQUAFISHERY

AquaFishery will host an extensive program of conferences, workshops and panels with the participation of experts from the fishing industry, institutional figures and fishing professionals.

The plenary sessions and discussions will offer an overview of the challenges and transformations facing the industry, creating a constructive dialogue between operators, businesses and institutions.

An overview of the current situation

In recent years, the Italian fishing industry has experienced significant changes: the fleet has shrunk, the number of employees has decreased and the average age of operators is constantly increasing. At the same time, dependence on imports is growing, with imports now accounting for almost 90% of domestic consumption of fish products.

These figures require strategic reflection on the future of the industry: from training young fishermen to digitising fleets, to the transition to more sustainable and innovative business models.

The AquaFishery conferences will therefore be an opportunity to look at the current situation, analyse national and international trends, and identify new directions to ensure competitiveness, sustainability, and production autonomy.

AQUAFISHERY 2026

THE NEW MEETING POINT FOR THE FISHING INDUSTRY

The event aims to:

  1. promote small-scale and professional fishing at national and international level
  2. encourage discussion and exchange between operators, institutions and trade associations
  3. create business and networking opportunities for companies and operators in the industry
  4. raise awareness of key issues such as sustainability, innovation and legislation
  5. encourage training and generational change, promoting the digitalisation of fleets
  6. strengthen food sovereignty, reducing dependence on imports and promoting local consumption
