The Fisheries Expert Course is a program designed to transfer advanced fisheries technology and trends to local seafood processing business owners and workers in order to secure the competitiveness of Busan’s fisheries industry. Since its establishment in 2012 by the National Pukyong University Seafood Processing Research Center under the commission of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and Busan City, the program has produced a total of about 380 fisheries professionals, including 32 this year.
At this event, seminars such as △The First Step to Leap Forward for Seafood Food Companies △Industry-Academia-Government Cooperation Plans for the Development of Busan’s Blue Food Tech shared information on the current status and future prospects of the fisheries industry, and product exhibitions and promotions by the Fisheries Expert Course alumni provided insights into industry trends.
Jeon Byung-soo, Director of the Seafood Processing Research Center, stated, “The fisheries industry is a core industry of the marine city Busan and an important sector responsible for our future. We hope that even after the Fisheries Expert Course education, networking events for exchange and cooperation will provide opportunities for closer collaboration among local governments, universities, and industries to move forward together.”
