During the afternoon of Tuesday, 1st of April 2025, a day prior to the summit, a limited number of conference delegates will have the unique opportunity to visit Rijtak production facility in in Sint-Katelijne-Waver.

Rijtak is a family business that grows tomatoes and bell peppers. Traditional agriculture has been practiced in the same place for 3 generations, but now things are changing. Many factors make it more difficult to practice traditional agriculture on this area in a profitable manner. Rijtak started looking for a crop of the future that can offer more on the same surface area. Microalgae! Rijtak started growing microalgae on a small scale in 2021. At the beginning of 2023, an important decision was made to replace some of the rows of our traditional tomato cultivation with a place to grow Spirulina. At the end of that same year Rijtak launched our first product. By shifting cultivation, Rijtak opened the door to the food of the future.

There is no extra charge to join, although the number of places is limited and allocated to the conference delegates on a first-come first-served basis. Therefore, we would strongly recommend you to book your place early enough to avoid disappointment.

  • Algae Producers and Cultivators
  • Marketing for Algae Based Products
  • Scientific Officers
  • Market Consultants
  • Policy Makers
  • Representatives From the EU
  • Technology and Equipment Developers / Suppliers
  • Representatives from the food and cosmetic industry
  • Green Technology and Biotechnology Investors
  • Algae Product Distributors
  • Feed and Aquaculture Professionals

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
