Every year the European algae scene meets at the AlgaEurope conference.

AlgaEurope offers a unique opportunity for an exchange between academia and industry, established in a networking-based environment that will explore sector’s evolution worldwide as well as the main European players.

Currently, there are several European projects, from lab scale to demonstration plants and commercial facilities, aiming to accelerate the commercialization of algal products.

AlgaEurope 2021 is an unique opportunity to learn and understand the bottlenecks of algae production and commercialization and interact with over 350 key players from more than 45 countries.
