Catch+Create Showcase: Meet the Next Generation of Seafood Innovators
Come see what the future of seafood looks like.
After 10 months of building, testing and refining, the inaugural cohort of the Catch+Create Accelerator is ready to show what they've created.
Our early-stage start-ups are transforming sustainable, underutilized groundfish into innovative new consumer products - creating new ways to enjoy local seafood, unlock more value from the catch, and reduce waste along the way.
Join us on the Seattle waterfront as they unveil their innovations, pitch for cash prizes, and show us what’s possible.
> And you won't just be watching: the audience gets a vote in who wins.
