A productive and inspiring 2.5 days in Istanbul with the FOODIMAR consortium!
Last week, our partners gathered for a dynamic project meeting filled with collaboration, learning, and a bit of culinary creativity. Some highlights: A cooking class using marine collagen—bringing seafood side-stream valorisation straight to the plate, hosted by Eataly!
A full partner meeting to share progress, exchange ideas, and align on our mission to unlock the potential of underutilised marine resources.
A visit to TUGIP – Türkiye Food Innovation Platform – where we explored their cutting-edge collagen extraction process and its role in seafood side-stream innovation.
A huge thank you to Tetis Biotechnology for hosting us and making the experience truly special!
We left Istanbul energised and inspired, with new insights and stronger partnerships. Onwards toward a more sustainable blue economy!
