ACG – The Aquaculture Communications Group is partnering with SmartAqua to promote ACG’s Norwegian Aquaculture Tours to the Australian and New Zealand aquaculture industry, government, research and academic communities.

ACG is organizing a number of tours in conjunction with the upcoming Aqua Nor trade show in Trondheim, Norway in August 2013 to enable visitors to get out and see some of the Norwegian science and technology at work. “Given SmartAqua’s reputation as an aquaculture and seafood industry consulting practice with extensive domestic and international experience, it is a natural fit for us to be working together,” said Dave Conley, Senior Partner at ACG. This is the first collaborative initiative since ACG joined SmartAqua’s network of alliances last year.

“Joining one of ACG’s tours will maximise the opportunity to gain information and valuable network contacts outside the main event,” said Alastair Smart, Managing Director, SmartAqua. “It will allow participants to learn how Norway enables its industry to grow and prosper through innovative government support programs, which can be transferred and adapted to any region of the world.”

 “Norway is an acknowledged leader in modern aquaculture science & technology,” commented Mark Asman, senior partner at SmartAqua. “For industry participants from Australia and New Zealand, going on a tour like this enables transparent communication with companies in a non-competitive environment. People can make important business contacts by socialising with other tour participants from all over the world; you never know who you may meet.”

ACG is renowned for bringing ideas, people, and solutions together to enable innovation and successful business development.

ACG is also preparing half-day & full-day tours for Friday and Saturday, 16 & 17 August, to enable show participants to visit facilities in the Trondheim area.
Tour information will be provided on the ACG, SmartAqua and Aqua Nor websites.
