Investors meet with developers at the Algae Technology Platform in San Diego

"Algae based technologies have become one of the most successful production systems for an unlimited range of high value products, as well as for biomass used for making biofuels, chemicals and aquaculture feed. Algae technology can deliver pure compounds such as antioxidants and omega-3s, the healthy ingredients to be utilised in functional foods. Algae biomass production is also creating huge potential to produce quality biofuels, and aquaculture feed. In Aquafeed, algae could replace fish protein, and act as precursor for omega-3 rich oil synthesis," said Dr. Koen Vanhoutte of Navicula.

The Algae Technology Platform Americas targets companies and decision makers such as entrepreneurs, business executives, technicians, product formulators, plant engineers, processors, chemists, sales and marketing specialists, new business development, R&D, and producers making novel products based on Algae.

On day 1, Investors will meet Developers, in a session reviewing Market potential and Capital requirements, followed by Strategies to develop successful Algae investments and business. This session will give developers an exclusive opportunity to present their projects and market ideas and confront these with investor’s ideas on successful business development.

On day 2 and 3, the technical short course will have over twenty experts from the industry reviewing Market Trends and Challenges, and Algae application areas. Technical requirements for Algae Growing for Cell Harvesting, will be followed by the main session bringing the latest Downstream Processing Technologies.

According to Dr S Sefa Koseoglu of Filtration and Membrane World, who has trained over 3,500 engineers, technicians, chemists, technologists and entrepreneurs through his practical short courses in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Asia, “Most of the practical Algae Processing, Application and Product information is NOT available through open literature. The equipment companies and OEMs are a great resource for algae processors who are looking for new methods to eliminate process bottlenecks, enhance overall downstream processing efficiency, and offer new products to increase their profitability”
