Scottish Ocean Cluster: Stakeholder Networking Workshop

August 04, 2026

Alexandra Hotel, Fort William PH33 6AZ, 8 October 2026, 10:00-16:00

The Scottish Ocean Cluster aims to foster collaboration between stakeholders committed to maximising the value created by Scotland’s seafood industry. This initiative brings together producers, processors, entrepreneurs, investors, biotech companies, educators, researchers, retailers, government and more - all working collectively to unlock the full potential of fish and seafood by-products.

Join the organisers for the third of the Scottish Ocean Cluster's networking events for 2026 in Fort William.

Through presentations and a focused roundtable discussion, participants will explore the challenges, opportunities and innovations involved in unlocking the highest possible value from Scotland’s seafood by-products, supporting both environmental sustainability and long-term economic resilience. The event will encourage open dialogue, knowledge sharing and collaboration to help advance the blue economy within Scotland.

A networking lunch will provide additional opportunities to build connections and foster future strategic partnerships.
