Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** All specified results are achieved. Agreements and permits required for establishment are defined. Business plan and investment costs are validated and developed for future investors. Locations and optimizations of process conditions and size of fish farming are specified. Informative website is communicated and new partners are contacted. Information about Big Akwa is communicated through titles such as this year´s Game Changer and Impact maker in Venture Cup. With great probability, the expected effect will be fulfilled in post project phase.
