During the AlgaEurope 2024 conference, taking place in Athens from 10 - 13 December, the organisers; the European Algae Biomass Association (EABA) and DLG Benelux have signed an agreement to strengthen collaboration for the Seagriculture EU Conference, taking place annually in rotating locations in Europe.
Both companies have been successfully organising the AlgaEurope Conference together since 2015, attracting some 425 delegates.
The general objective of the EABA is to promote mutual interchange and cooperation in the field of algae biomass production and uses in all thinkable applications. The organisation aims at creating, developing and maintaining solidarity and links between its members and at defending their interests at European and international level. 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.
“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," said Carlos Unamunzaga, President of EABA, in a press release.
DLG Benelux has been organising the Seagriculture conference series 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.
“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," concluded Kuno Jacobs, DLG Benelux managing director.
