Description
The European Commission, the French Government, and the Global Seaweed Coalition will host the first-ever EU Algae Awareness Summit in Paris on 5-7 October. The event is supported by the Oceanographic Institute, Prince Albert I of Monaco Foundation.
The summit will kick off by raising awareness among EU Member States’ administrations and the public about the various benefits that algae cultivation can bring to national and regional economies, people, and the regeneration of our Ocean.
The objectives are to
- Increase the social awareness of algae and algae-based products.
- Boost demand for them.
- Spur the development of the EU algae sector.
From 5 to 6 October, the Maison de l’Océan in Paris, a facility of the Oceanographic Institute, will be home to the algae community. EU public sector representatives will be inspired by algae entrepreneurs, SMEs, start-ups, researchers, and academics. The two days will offer High-Level Panel Conversations, participatory group discussions, and an exhibition area showcasing innovative projects.
Furthermore, on 7 October, this venue will open its doors to the public for an immersive day in the world of algae. Well known personalities will guide this journey of discovery with inspiring speeches and a tasting of mouth-watering recipes based on algae.
