EU4Algae Webinar Series: Towards a Roadmap for the EU Algae Industry

In 2025 and 2026, EU4Algae will host quarterly webinars to foster the discussion on the 4 fields of the EU Algae Initiative: Governance, Awareness, Research and Business.  

Second Webinar: Towards a Roadmap for the EU Algae Industry

As part of EU4Algae’s ongoing efforts, a unified and comprehensive roadmap for the EU algae industry will be developed over the coming months. This roadmap aims to position algae as a key contributor to the EU Green Deal. During this interactive webinar, we will explore the current status of the algae sector, define a vision for its future, and discuss the necessary steps to achieve this vision.

The development of the roadmap will focus on several critical themes, including:

• Business Development: Exploring new market opportunities for algae-based products.

• Governance: Addressing the regulatory and policy landscape.

• Research: Fostering innovation and knowledge sharing.

• Awareness: Raising visibility and understanding of algae's potential.

While business will be at the heart of the roadmap, input from all relevant sectors – industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, and civil society – is vital. Your insights will help shape the direction and priorities of the industry.

The European algae stakeholders forum (EU4Algae), operational since 2022, gathers over 900 registered members. Although forming a heterogeneous group, members are supporting the generation of knowledge through an environment where interested parties and experts openly speak and provide inputs that helped shape the EU Algae Initiative, also contributing to the implementation of its actions.  

The EU4Algae as a stakeholder’s bottom-up forum is playing an important role in promoting discussions and advancements in the sector towards regenerative, resilient, fair, and climate-friendly algae industry across Europe. Through collaborative efforts facilitated by the forum, stakeholders from various sectors have come together to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and collectively identify the main challenges inherent in the algae industry.
