The planning of the event is the responsibility of the Strategic Technology Program for the Development of Ocean Aquaculture (PTECAO), which is driven by the Corporation for the Promotion of Production (Corfo) within the framework of the challenges and roadmap gaps of the Mesoregional Salmon More Sustainable Strategic Program, to which co-executing companies such as Walbusch S.A., AST Networks, Aquarov Ltda. and EcoSea Farming are added.

In turn, the body has the support of the sectoral public services through the Directorate of Fisheries and Aquaculture (Subpesca) and the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Sernapesca).

The importance of this seminar lies not only in being able to exchange ideas with professionals of the highest relevance and to learn about different international experiences, but also in marking the milestone of the closure of this technological program after five years of operations.
