High added-value industrial opportunities for microalgae in the Atlantic Area

Microalgae production for high added value compounds is identified as a business sector with high growth potential in the coming decades, especially in the Atlantic Area. Barriers to improve an industrial use are dominated by a lack of technology expertise. This project will facilitate information transfer between a panel of experts and companies specializing in different areas (nutrients, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, feed, energy, etc) thus encouraging business cooperation among the different countries. The main objective is to contribute to the competitiveness of microalgal-based industries in the Atlantic Area.
