Program Friday

Participants will have the invaluable opportunity for a site visit to Solmeyea, situated within the Demokritos premises, facilitating firsthand exploration and interaction of the demo plant facility. Besides the big glass photobioreactors, participants can see the fermentation process of growing algae.

Solmeyea is a Greek company unifying biotechnology and sustainability. Founded in 2019, with a mission to “inspire CO2 circularity” through emblematic collaborations with heavy CO2 emitting corporations by transforming their CO2 off-gases into valuable feedstock. The opportunities generated by their proprietary technology are limitless, from alternative proteins to SAF and maritime biofuels. Starting with a pilot plant in 2021, they have rapidly expanded to a pre-industrial facility, now producing 40 tons of premium food and cosmetics ingredients annually. Their unwavering commitment lies in making a positive impact on our planet, as they actively pursue a sustainable future through innovation and strategic partnerships.
