The First International Marine Ingredients Conference Norway (MIC 2010) will address challenges and perspectives facing the international marine ingredient industry. Market trends, business opportunities for new products, new applications and new technologies will be addressed both by the industry and by science. Reputed speakers from all over the world have confirmed their presence. Marine ingredients are increasingly sought after for the health and welfare benefits that they offer. They are used in the development of bioactive and nutritional ingredients for use in foods, functional foods, food supplements, feed supplements, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Marine ingredients include not only the now well known omega-3 fatty acids, but also proteins, peptides, phospholipids, biopolymers and minerals. The conference will present international market trends and business opportunities for new products, applications and technologies, and will discuss some of the challenges facing the industry in terms of regulation, documentation, and the environment. The event will focus on the commercial aspects of the industry, but will also include developments in research and regulation. Norwegian companies are at the forefront of research in some of these areas and the event is supported by the industry and several Norwegian institutions. The conference will be held on 20 and 21 September 2010. More information is available at www.marineingredients2010.net
