During the Tuesday afternoon, prior to the conference, a limited number of conference delegates will receive the unique opportunity to visit the brand new ALGATEC Eco Business Park, just a short drive from Lisbon.
The ALGATEC Eco Business Park, developed by the A4F – Algae for Future group in collaboration with LusoAmoreiras and Solvay, envisions the installation of a 14.2 ha integrated platform with microalgae production and processing units in an excellent geographical location in Europe, with high solar radiation, water sources and raw materials availability.
ALGATEC Eco Business Park based in Portugal started its construction in 2017 and will be one of the largest microalgae production centers in Europe. Currently, has in the pipeline the development and implementation of three innovative projects with cutting-edge technologies for the production of microalgae and microalgal extracts to be used in the feed and food industry.
The proximity to universities and research institutes will allow the development of a cluster to support the entrepreneurs and investors in the field of microalgae with the process of knowledge-transfer between applied research, industrial production, product development and commercialisation.
The installation of ALGATEC Eco Business Park will be an essential step in strengthening a sustainable circular economy and national industrial cluster, with the first integrated park dedicated to the installation of algae biotechnology projects, based on sustainable technological development in its environmental, economic and social aspects.
There is no extra charge to attend the site visit, but spaces are limited and allocated to the conference delegates on a first come first served basis. Therefore, we would strongly suggest to book your place early to avoid disappointment.
Please note that, due to compliance reasons, attendance is subject to approval from A4F – Algae for Future.
