On 14 May 2024, our partner ELKON had the opportunity to present the REFEST project at the prestigious Wave of Change Conference in Instambul, Turkey.
This event gathered a wide range of blue economy and ocean literacy actors, featuring multiple panel discussions, workshops, and activities throughout the day. It provided an important platform to further disseminate REFEST’s vision and objectives, demonstrating how innovation and advanced technologies can play a transformative role in the fisheries sector.
ELKON’s presentation highlighted the project’s commitment to supporting the transition from traditional fisheries to future-ready fleets, capable of addressing both sustainability challenges and evolving industry demands.
By participating in international forums such as Wave of Change, REFEST continues to expand its outreach, strengthen collaborations, and promote the role of research and innovation in driving a sustainable blue economy.
