Seaweed production in the UK is a growing industry with the potential to address some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. It presents the means to transform food, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetics production. Seaweed can also be a highly effective means to sequester carbon, address ocean acidification and treat waste water.

This event will focus on key factors influencing the development of the UK seaweed industry. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders to identify opportunities for research, collaboration and innovation, this webinar will include voices from the SME, academic, investment and policy arenas. Presentations will be followed by breakout spaces to provide an opportunity for networking.

The Bioeconomy Cluster Builder (BCB) is a three-year collaboration between the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC), Innovate UK KTN and Scottish Enterprise. The project aims to grow the Scottish bioeconomy by raising awareness of the applications and benefits of biotechnology and supporting the development of new value chains and markets for bio-based products. Using the extensive networks and knowledge of the three partner organisations, we connect the right people and resources to deliver innovation support and signposting to funding opportunities.
