The role of Eurofishmarket and L'Amo italiano

Eurofishmarket is a strategic partner of the project and works to enhance the presence of companies in the seafood supply chain within an already solid and business-oriented trade fair context.

Visitors to iFISH will have direct access to a selection of the most dynamic and innovative companies in the seafood supply chain, chosen for the high value of their products: sustainable, traceable, and distinctive.

A concrete opportunity to develop new business relationships, identify qualified suppliers, and competitive solutions for the Ho.Re.Ca. channel.

The core of iFISH will be a hub entirely dedicated to the L’Amo italiano project, which will bring together and promote producers attentive to product quality and the sustainability of production within the national seafood supply chain.

iFISH thus presents itself as an innovative format, capable of filling a gap in the national landscape and generating real business opportunities.
