Together with other industry leaders they will be on hand to analyse recent developments in the algae industry and to discuss the future of the algae sector.
As attention to sustainability and bioenergy escalates among governments and corporations, algae has made its way into the spotlight with the promise of a wide variety of applications ranging from a source of food to feeds, fertilizers and fuel. Algae research has opened doors to diverse possibilities and means to harness the true potential of algae on a commercial scale. Research and development of algae and its supporting technology have come a long way, creating significant changes in the industry, along with an upswing in demand for algaebased products such as astaxanthin.
With that in mind, Conference organizer CMT has drawn up a 2.5 day program agenda that will showcase the advancements in the algae sector, strain collection and maintenance of marine macroalgae, tissue seaweed culture techniques using photobioreactors, biofuel production, and emerging biofertilizer applications in Asia, chiefly Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
