The Brokerage event will allow promotion of the winning projects, engagement of more stakeholders, and facilitate the creation and mobilisation of PPPs, enhancing visibility and networking. Face-to-face contacts will accelerate and facilitate the creation and mobilisation of PPPs. The potential partners’ motivation to attend the brokerage event on their own expenditure will be increased by organising it in the framework of a larger relevant event.

The event is organised  parallel to the European Aquaculture Scoiety (EAS) and World aquaculture Society (WAS) Aqua 2018 trade show and conference, August 28th 2108, Monpellier, France at Le Corum – Palais des Congrès Opéra Berlioz
