Scotland's public and private sectors are to join forces this week when they travel to Norway as part of a new initiative to encourage further investment in the salmon farming industry. Representatives from Scottish Development International (SDI), Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation (SSPO) are to meet senior executives from both Scottish and multi-national salmon farming companies at the world's biggest aquaculture event to outline the support for the sustainable growth of the sector. Over the four days of AQuaNor 2007, attended by all the major players in the salmon farming business, SDI, HIE and SSPO are to host a breakfast reception and a series of one-to-one meetings with many of the managing directors of companies based in Scotland and overseas parent companies. Scotland is the third largest salmon producer in the world, generating a worldwide retail value of over £1 billion. The industry supports 8,500 full and part time jobs, many of which are located in remote, rural communities. To view the media release in full, click here.
