Main Advancement –
SEA2SEE’s ambitious goal will be achieved with the development, implementation and validation of a blockchain-based platform that consolidates and analyses data from the seafood value chain, in a system that is flexible enough to adapt to changes in the value chain and brings transparency to end-consumers at its end.
An existing small-scale platform will be extended with new, industry-specific algorithms powered by AI and additional platforms so that it is effectively functional for the European seafood industry.
