Collaboration agreement for Seagriculture EU

The next Seagriculture EU Conference takes place on 17-19 June 2025 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The agreement was signed at the AlgaEurope 2024 conference, held in Athens over 10-13 December.

Both companies have been successfully organising the AlgaEurope Conference together since 2015, attracting some 425 delegates.

The general objective of the European Algae Biomass Association (EABA) is to promote mutual interchange and cooperation in the field of algae biomass production and uses across a wide range of applications.

EABA aims at creating, developing and maintaining solidarity and links between its members and at defending their interests at European and international level. Its main target is to act as a catalyst for fostering synergies among scientists, industrialists and decision makers, in order to promote the development of research, technology and industrial capacities in the field of algae.

DLG Benelux has been organizing Seagriculture for more than 14 years. Each year the conference gathers top speakers, sharing their knowledge of seaweed applications in feed, food, offshore cultivation, biorefinery of seaweed, and much more.

The Seagriculture conference has built up a solid reputation as the leading conference for the seaweed industry, the Seagriculture conference in Europe has been successfully organized since 2012.

Carlos Unamunzaga, President of EABA, said: “As the leading association for algae in Europe, EABA is dedicated to supporting its members in both the macroalgae and microalgae sectors. Signing the agreement with DLG Benelux to foster closer collaboration around the Seagriculture Conference will undoubtedly contribute to this mission and further enhance the association’s efforts to advance the algae industry.”

Kuno Jacobs, Managing Director of DLG Benelux, added: “For many years, we have enjoyed a successful collaboration with EABA. Partnering with EABA for the Seagriculture Conference will create an even stronger platform, enabling us to further develop the conference and connect with an even broader network of industry players. Furthermore, I believe it’s a great example of collaboration which is so much needed in the sector.”
