Save the Date for EU4Algae's Second Webinar: Towards a Roadmap for the EU Algae Industry
6 June - 10h-12h (CET)
As part of EU4Algae’s ongoing efforts, a unified and comprehensive roadmap for the EU algae industry will be developed over the coming months. This roadmap aims to position algae as a key contributor to the EU Green Deal. During this interactive webinar, we will explore the current status of the algae sector, define a vision for its future, and discuss the necessary steps to achieve this vision.
The development of the roadmap will focus on several critical themes, including:
- Business Development: Exploring new market opportunities for algae-based products.
- Governance: Addressing the regulatory and policy landscape.
- Research: Fostering innovation and knowledge sharing.
- Awareness: Raising visibility and understanding of algae's potential.
While business will be at the heart of the roadmap, input from all relevant sectors – industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, and civil society – is vital. Your insights will help shape the direction and priorities of the industry.
