At Festa 2026, Benedek Regoczi from the Iceland Ocean Cluster was featured in Vísir discussing Iceland’s role as a meeting point for the global seafood sector.
Speaking in connection with the conference, Ben described Iceland as operating less as a single producer and more as a platform: connecting industry, research, startups and policymakers around full utilisation and circular value chains. The focus is on turning side streams into inputs for food, feed, biomaterials and health applications, and on sharing proven methods rather than exporting raw materials alone.
The Vísir coverage reflects how Iceland’s seafood ecosystem creates value through connection. By linking actors and exporting know-how, Iceland enables practical transformation across borders, including collaboration in the Nordics and with partners such as Greenland.
