Workshops

We hold workshops bi-annually, discussing different elements of the algal supply chain relevant to business and industry whilst sharing our expertise on a wide range of algae related topics. 

These workshops offer an ideal and relaxed environment for representatives of industry, businesses, NGOs, governmental organisations and academia to network, learn about the facilities and expertise we can offer, and to discuss collaborative R&D and funding streams in this area.

Green Growth for Business - Sustainable Products from Algae, held in Swansea on 18th September, 2012. 

With companies seeking sustainable ingredients to assist product development, it's no wonder that the feeds, pharma and fuel sectors are increasingly drawn to algae as novel and competitive source of biomass. This event addressed current value and markets for algal products; hearing first hand from local companies in the algal sector; and learning about support and advice available via Swansea University and other funding opportunities.
