Why algae?
- Algae have considerable potential for expanded use in human food and animal feed.
- Certain strains are high in protein, some contain omega oils, others are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, some contain valuable pigments.
- Currently demand outstrips supply, and new business opportunities are emerging
The event will
- showcase the work of the newly launched INTERREG NW Europe Strategic Initiative ‘EnAlgae’, of which InCrops is a partner
- highlight the benefits of algae as a functional food/feed
- provide a platform for business delegates to pitch with one slide who they are, what they do and what they are looking for
- facilitate building of algal supply chains during networking
