The Seagriculture conferences have grown into one of the leading global platforms for the seaweed industry, attracting over 500 stakeholders annually.

Seaweed cultivation is showing promise in terms of growth, however challenges in regulations, cost, and market viability could affect the pace of this growth in the future. The Seagriculture conferences focus on addressing those challenges in the seaweed industry, fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, and emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices, innovation, research, and regulatory adaptability for long-term success.

What I mostly got from this conference is the passion of the community towards the seaweed sector. This was reflected by the good choice of speakers and content of presentations. The Seagriculture Conference gathered most stakeholders, farmers and scientists. All presentations gathered, showed that the sector will be successful, everyone is committed and working together... What make it better is the perfect organization of the event, very professional, a lot of commitment and passion as well. All in all, this shown passion gave me and my students inspiration and push to do our best as scientists to make this sector successful.
