Europe’s blue bioeconomy has potential.
But scaling the seaweed sector is still a challenge.
Europe currently imports the vast majority of its seaweed, while demand is rapidly growing across food, feed, and biomaterials. Without scaling domestic production and processing, that gap will only widen.
High costs, fragmented value chains, and limited processing capacity continue to hold the European sector back. Innovation exists, but market uptake is still catching up.
For the past four years, SeaMark has been working to change that. Bringing together 25 partners, the project focused on building scalable, investable seaweed value chains across food, feed, packaging, cosmetics, and biomaterials.
This event brings together stakeholders and policymakers to showcase key results and innovations, but also highlights bottlenecks to the further development of the European seaweed industry.
Please note that the event will take place on 20 May 2026, from 12:30 to 18:00 local time (EEST / UTC+3). It is scheduled one day ahead of the European Maritime Days, which will also be held in Limassol, Cyprus.
