www.wplgroup.com/aci

ACI’s 6th annual European Algae Biomass Conference will once again bring

together senior executives from industry and academia to discuss the latest

commercial and technical developments, challenges and research break-

throughs throughout the entire algae value chain.

The conference will have a heavy focus on case study examples of latest

technologies in operation in the global algae industry and also includes an

exclusive dual site visit tour on 19th & 21st of April 2016. Join us to discuss

the technical challenges faced when optimising the cultivation of algae,

study the current and future commercial markets for algae products and

the challenges faced on the road to commercialisation including the views

from a number of different end markets.

Key Topics:

Culture Management & Crop Protection

Cultivation Systems: The Limits of Heterotrophy vs Autotrophy

Optimisation of the Biomass Extraction – Harvesting Still a Big Issue

Algae Research, Development, Demonstration & Deployment Projects

European Regulation Regarding Microalgae Addressed to Feed, Food and Nutraceuticals

Moving from R&D - How to Attract Investments Necessary to Upscale

What Are the Most Successful Algae Products in Europe and Worldwide?

Microalgae as a sustainable way to treat wastewater

Why You Cannot Miss This Event?

The two day conference will comprise of a series of informative formal

presentations from senior industry executives and experts, interactive

panel discussions and excellent networking opportunities allowing you to

maximise the productivity of your time at the event.
