Algae are called the green gold of the future as they became a valuable and sustainable feedstock for numerous industies. They are used in producton of biofuels, novel food, animal feed, chemicals, materials, cosmetics, biofertilizers or CO2 utilization. The market is rapidly growing and it is still far from reaching it’s full potential. Scientists are working on new technologies and cost optimization to scale up pilot projects to industrial production. Algae Tech Conference, taking place on 19-20 September 2018 in Munich, will bring together major stakeholders in order to highlight the latest

technical and commetechnical and commercial issues. We will examine algae cultivation, harvesting and applications for various industries. We invite you to join your peers for 2 days of interactive pressentations and networking sessions.

Thanks to our Media Partners
