Norway is recognized as the global leader in aquaculture innovation, particularly in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). With a more mature RAS industry than North America, Norwegian companies bring valuable expertise and insight — and we’re excited to welcome that experience to RAStech 2026.

Taking place May 19–21 in St. Augustine, Florida, RAStech 2026 will feature Norwegian leadership prominently in the conference program, beginning with our keynote session:

Keynote: The future of RAS in traditional salmon farming

Featuring:

• Bendik Terjesen, Head of Land-Based Innovation, Cermaq Global
• Timo Rosch, Head of RAS, Greig Seafood

This keynote will explore how legacy salmon farming companies are shaping the future of land-based production and what innovations they see ahead for RAS.

Bendik Terjesen will also serve as session chair for the Smolt & Post-smolt Production session, curating presentations on the latest research and best practices in land-based smolt production.

And don’t miss our Scandinavian presence on the trade show floor, including: Nofitech, CM Aqua, MAT Kuling, FREA Solutions, Skretting, Innovasea, OxyGuard International, and Benchmark Genetics.
