The importance of origin in the aquaculture market

The market for smart underwater camera technology is growing rapidly, nationally and internationally. Stricter regulations imposed by the authorities have increased the need for tools that can optimise production while improving fish welfare.

OptoScale must uphold its high standards to continue to qualify for the Made in Norway label. While this can be challenging without a clear strategy, OptoScale views this as an opportunity to enhance its competitiveness and remain vigilant. The company’s ambition is to further develop its technology, continuing to push boundaries and maintain its position as a leading provider of precise camera technology.

Incorporating the label

Moving forward, OptoScale plans to make the Made in Norway label a core part of its identity, using it to bolster its reputation for quality both at home and abroad. As the company expands into new markets, the label will serve as a symbol of Norwegian innovation and craftsmanship, helping OptoScale to maintain a competitive edge.

In short, Made in Norway tells the story of OptoScale’s origins and future ambitions, signaling its dedication to developing solutions that meet the highest standards.
