Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre

SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE INNOVATION CENTRE Driving, sharing and nurturing innovation Launched in 2014, SAIC is part of the Innovation Centres programme, which aims to drive innovation in key economic sectors. SAIC’s mission is to transform aquaculture by unlocking sustainable growth through innovation excellence. This means we work to reduce the environmental footprint and increase the economic impact of aquaculture. Connecting businesses and academics, we fund and support commercially relevant, collaborative research that aims to deliver solutions to key sector challenges. We safeguard jobs and revenue through projects that result in spin-out businesses, new markets, and increased productivity. We also attract, educate and upskill the aquaculture workforce through funded university places and tailored training programmes. We provide an independent voice, offering science-based insight and knowledge exchange. Throughout our work, we strive for a spirit of support, agility, integrity and collaboration.
