From Ocean Science to (Pop) Culture: Reimagining Indonesia’s Tuna Future
Tuna Talks 2026 positions tuna beyond seafood — as a convergence of sustainability, heritage, innovation, and culture. From Indonesia’s pole-and-line fishing tradition to innovations like tuna-based collagen, the sector is evolving into a high-value, cross-industry space.
At the same time, global campaigns like “Super Tuna” featuring Kim Seokjin of BTS show how tuna can reach new audiences through storytelling and consumer culture.
Tuna Talks 2026 unites sustainability, innovation, and cultural identity to position Indonesia at the forefront of the global tuna industry; shifting the narrative from volume to value, from ocean to opportunity.
