Third Precompetitive RITA Co-creation Network for the Fish and Aquaculture Industry

The objective is to develop a co-creation network dedicated to Quebec鈥檚 fisheries and aquaculture sectors, focusing on the Gasp茅sie-脦les-de-la-Madeleine, C么te-Nord and Bas-Saint-Laurent regions. Despite the sustained efforts of the fishing and aquaculture industry, this very strategic part of the Quebec economy (and especially of the maritime regions) is facing various regulatory issues, the management of by-products resulting from the processing of raw materials (fish, crustaceans, algae, etc.), the quality of processed products and their preservation, the optimization and automation of processes, and the marketing of products. The RITA Consortium, in collaboration with the Minist猫re de l'Agriculture, des P锚cheries et de l'Alimentation du Qu茅bec (MAPAQ), the R茅seau Qu茅bec Maritime (RQM), MERINOV and the Association Qu茅b茅coise de l'Industrie de la P锚che (AQIP), has created a co-creation network that is specially designed to support these sectors of transformation in Quebec. This network will focus on the challenges facing stakeholders over the next two years, while providing competent scientific resources for the next ten years.

The fruitful exchanges during our first co-creation workshop and the surveys carried out have identified the research and technology transfer axes with a great potential to transform the stakes into opportunities. These axes are cross-cutting and integrate 鈥渜uality and safety鈥�, 鈥渢echnological efficiency鈥�, 鈥渂est positioning鈥� and 鈥渟ustainability鈥� to meet current and future challenges in the fishing and aquaculture sectors. The prioritization and validation of these axes with a view to establishing a network of collaborative research and technology transfer were the main objective of our second workshop held on November 4 and 5, 2021.
