NOVAFOODIES was featured at Aquaculture Europe 2026 (28th Sept – Oct 1st) through an e-poster contribution submitted by project partner Kefalonia Fisheries, highlighting NOVAFOODIES innovative work on secure seafood traceability and cold-chain management.
The e-poster was displayed on digital screens located throughout the conference venue, enabling participants to explore project results and innovations during the event. This format provided valuable visibility for NOVAFOODIES among researchers, industry professionals and stakeholders from the European aquaculture sector.
The poster presented the NOVAFOODIES Digital Traceability Ecosystem, developed within the project to improve transparency, product quality control and trust across the seafood value chain. The showcased solutions combine advanced digital technologies, including IoT devices, GNSS monitoring, RFID, QR codes and blockchain-based traceability systems, enabling continuous monitoring of seafood products throughout logistics and distribution processes.
Among the key innovations highlighted was the NOVAFOODIES Mobile App, which allows consumers and end-users to access verified product information by simply scanning QR codes at the point of sale. The application enhances transparency and strengthens consumer confidence by providing reliable information on product origin, traceability and quality.
The e-poster also presented the NOVAFOODIES online Marketplace and digital monitoring solutions designed to support seafood operators in managing batches, shipments and traceability data while improving cold-chain control and reducing the risk of food loss and spoilage.
Kefalonia Fisheries’ participation contributed to increasing the visibility of the project’s results and demonstrated the important role of industry partners in validating and promoting innovative solutions for a more transparent, sustainable and resilient seafood sector.
