Danish cooperation and innovation for a stronger global aquaculture

Pavilion of Denmark at AQUA24, Copenhagen, Denmark, 26-20 August 2024

Striving to provide the most efficient and sustainable solutions for global aquaculture, Danish companies have strong cooperation throughout the entire value chain and innovate continuously to meet the needs of fish farmers worldwide.

Each year the 200 Danish farms produce about 56,000 tons of farmed fish and shellfish. Since the domestic market is small, Danish companies supplying the aquaculture industry have been forced to compete internationally—something they have managed very successfully. From turnkey providers and feed producers to suppliers of pumps, filters, and fish processing equipment, Danish suppliers are highly recognized worldwide and have a strong position in markets abroad thanks to their energy-efficient, sustainable, and high-end solutions.

Sustainability and efficiency through decades of innovation and cooperation

Danish strengths such as sustainable solutions, energy efficiency, and high-end products are seen across industries and apply to aquaculture as well. And Danish suppliers strive for solutions that increase the sustainability of aquaculture. This takes knowledge and experience, strengths built upon years of close cooperation within the industry. Equipment manufacturers work closely with fish farmers and the turnkey providers, just as the feed producers collaborate with fish farmers to optimise their products for more efficient, sustainable, and disease-free farming.

Maybe not the cheapest, but most probably the best

As research and development require resources as well as skilled employees, Danish products might not be the cheapest on the face of it. But in the long run, Danish solutions might be the most cost-effective.

For instance, fish feed producers have developed feeds supporting higher seafood production. Technology providers bring the most energy-efficient and long-lasting solutions to the table, securing lower energy consumption, less maintenance, and a longer life span, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership. Furthermore, processing equipment providers have developed machinery that not only handles the processing, packaging, and freezing of the product fast and efficiently, but also maximises the yield from the raw material.

As aquaculture output increases all over the world, Danish companies need to stay updated on markets and upcoming projects. Also in this process, the companies benefit from close cooperation throughout the value chain. For example, turnkey providers can introduce sub-suppliers to new markets. But to stay relevant to the industry, Denmark needs to keep pushing to remain a leader in greener and more efficient solutions to benefit the whole aquaculture industry.

Meeting the world together

Danish companies will literally stand together at the AQUA 2024 exhibition in Copenhagen in August. The Danish Export Association organises the Pavilion of Denmark, gathering 27 companies from the whole value chain to meet new and old international business partners and to show the exhibition visitors what Denmark is all about.
