The BEYOND Expo 2025 (4-6 April, Athens) concluded with a powerful message that resonates deeply with our mission: innovation is the path to sustainability. Hosted at the reframe.food‘s stand, OptiFish was proud to be part of this future-focused event, where we had the opportunity to share our work, connect with innovators across sectors, and highlight how technology can transform fisheries.
At OptiFish, we bridge the gap between research and real-world fishing practices. Our tools and approach are designed to support both the needs of fishers and the broader goals of marine conservation. By using smart technologies for monitoring and reporting, OptiFish is helping fisheries collect reliable data, meet regulatory requirements, and adopt more sustainable practices.
The project’s Communication Manager, Eleni Bolieraki, captured this vision during the event:
“We’re harnessing advanced digital tools to enhance data accuracy, improve compliance, and make fisheries more efficient and sustainable.”
OptiFish’s presence at the BEYOND Expo sparked engaging conversations and expanded our network of stakeholders interested in the intersection of ocean health, innovation, and fisheries. It was clear from the dialogues that technology adoption in fisheries is not just a possibility – it’s a necessity to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.
As BEYOND Expo showcased innovations that push boundaries, OptiFish stood out as an example of how smart solutions can be used to track fishing activities, support decision-making, and align with EU policies on sustainable resource use. With smart monitoring systems and user-friendly tools, fisheries can evolve while protecting marine biodiversity.
