Fishing 4.0: Digitalisation and blockchain
The Institute of Marine Research, together with the Marine Technology Centre – CETMAR Foundation and the Vigo Shipowners’ Cooperative, which leads the project, is organising a workshop on 11 October on the potential of digitalisation and blockchain for traceability, quality and sustainability in the fisheries sector. The event is part of the activities planned within the Pescando 4.0 project.
The meeting, which will take place at CETMAR headquarters, will include a series of talks on use cases for digitalisation and blockchain in the sector, followed by a participatory workshop to identify opportunities, possible barriers and relevant technological advances related to these technologies.
The registration period ends on 30 September. Places are limited to 40 participants.
About the “Pescando 4.0” project
The Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC), the Marine Technology Centre (CETMAR) and the Vigo Fishing Shipowners’ Cooperative (ARVI) have formed a consortium to carry out the Pescando 4.0 project.
The project, which will run until October 2023, is funded by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and the European Next Generation EU funds, under Royal Decree 685/2021 of 3 August.
The main objective is to launch a secure and reliable system that guarantees the truthfulness and immutability of information associated with the traceability, food safety and sustainability of fishery products.
To this end, a pilot platform based on 4.0 technologies, specifically blockchain and IoT, will be developed and launched to validate the functioning of this solution in three fisheries, from product capture to first sale.
