The Seafood Business Accelerator (SBA) is designed to help small-scale seafood entrepreneurs innovate, grow, and succeed in a competitive market. By providing targeted support, the SBA helps seafood enterprises go farther and grow faster than they would on their own.
Through a mix of food industry training, business coaching, and one-on-one mentoring, participants gain valuable insights from experienced food industry experts. Whether refining a business idea, launching a new product, or scaling operations, the SBA equips entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge to achieve their goals.
The program blends in-person and online activities to create a flexible and engaging learning environment. Participants benefit from hands-on workshops, strategic guidance, and networking opportunities to connect with like-minded seafood professionals.
