Both companies have been successfully organizing the AlgaEurope Conference together since 2015, attracting some 425 delegates. The general objective of the European Algae Biomass Association (EABA) is to promote mutual interchange and cooperation in the field of algae biomass production and uses in all thinkable applications.
EABA aims to create, develop, and maintain solidarity and links among its members and defend their interests at the European and international levels. Its main target is to act as a catalyst for fostering synergies among scientists, industrialists, and decision-makers in order to promote the development of research, technology, and industrial capacities in the field of Algae.
DLG Benelux has been organizing Seagriculture for over 14 years, and each year, the conference gathers top speakers, sharing their know-how within seaweed for feed, food, offshore cultivation, biorefinery of seaweed, and much more.
The Seagriculture Conference has built up a solid reputation as the leading conference for the seaweed industry. The Seagriculture Conference in Europe was successfully organized in 2012. Carlos Unamunzaga, president of EABA, states: “As the leading association for algae in Europe, EABA is dedicated to supporting its members in both the macroalgae and microalgae sectors. Signing the agreement with DLG Benelux to foster closer collaboration around the Seagriculture Conference will undoubtedly contribute to this mission and further enhance the association’s efforts to advance the algae industry.”
Kuno Jacobs, Managing Director of DLG Benelux, states: “For many years, we have enjoyed a successful collaboration with EABA. Partnering with EABA for the Seagriculture Conference will create an even stronger platform, enabling us to further develop the conference and connect with an even broader network of industry players. Furthermore, I believe it’s a great example of collaboration, which is so much needed in the sector.”
The next edition is scheduled for June 17–19, 2025, and will take place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
