Success of IDEA Interreg webinar on microalgae culture for North-West Europe

Great success of the Webinars, in French an in English organised by The Chair of Biotechnology of CentraleSupélec in conjunction with Innovatiesteunpunt. The Webinars aimed to inform farmers in North-West Europe, of the potential of microalgae as all-year round crops.

The Webinars were organised in the context of the Interreg-NWE IDEA project that provides 60% of the funding for this international project.

 

 

Over the two half-days, more that 70 participants connected to the Webinars to listen to speakers presenting the IDEA Project, the Economic potential of the market for microalgae culture, the global economic map of algal growth across the world, the scientific basis of microalgae culture, examples of scale-up and concrete examples of microalgae farms and companies with innovative products containing microalgae.

Participants were mainly form the partner countries in the IDEA project, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and France; but also from further afield such as Italy, Spain, Morocco and even Canada and Australia.

We are looking forward to the final event for the IDEA project that will take place next year at VITO.
