Fish-X in a Nutshell
We believe in a Common Responsibility to foster Sustainable Fisheries and Marine Biodiversity.
- We drive digital innovation to enable the sustainable exploitation of common natural resources.
- We develop accessible technologies to empower small-scale fisheries and grow their credibility towards the customer.
Within the Fish-X project, we are therefore developing a Fisheries Dataspace, a Traceability App, and an Insight Platform – based on smart orchestrated architecture and open interoperable technology via Gaia-X.

The digital transition: How new technologies can support SSF organizations in promoting sustainable small-scale fisheries
Fish-X is organising its 2nd Regional Capacity-building Workshop, entitled “The digital transition: How new technologies can support SSF organisations in promoting sustainable small-scale fisheries” during the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean and Black Sea (GFCM-FAO) as part of the Regional Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) on 18th April 2024 in Torrevieja, Spain.
This workshop is in-person only and the objective is to engage small-scale fishers and workers in discussions on establishing robust and sustainable SSF organisations within fishing communities. The aim is to enhance productivity, foster solidarity, diversify activities, and attract younger fishers. Specifically, the workshop will facilitate the exchange of experiences among fishers in forming organisations, focusing on the local model of las Cofradias de Pescadores, while showcasing best practices from the region. Additionally, there will be discussions on project development, emphasising the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation, and exploring potential solutions.
