ALGAE 2010 EUROPE

ALGAE EUROPE is the first Conference & Expo in Italy dedicated to the technologies and industrial applications of algae culture, which will take place from 26 to 28 October 2010 at Fieramilanocity.

The algae sector is undergoing strong growth and will have enormous development potential in the next few years. Algae, the microscopic plant organisms that are the basis of the food chain, are, in fact, widely used today in diverse applicative sectors: food and nutraceutics; the textile, paper and leather industries; chemicals and biochemicals; medicine and pharmacology; cosmetics, dermo-cosmetics and herbal products; agriculture and animal nutrition; treatment of wastewater; capture of CO2; production of biofuels and biogas.

The transformation and exploitation of algae today are made possible thanks to ever more advanced technologies such as the production of high-efficiency photo-bioreactors and considerable investments in research and development.

ALGAE EUROPE 2010 is therefore aimed at manufacturers of technologies, plants and machinery for the production of algae, as well as companies involved in their production, commercialization and use, research centres and investors.
Other than an exhibition area, the conference sessions of ALGAE EUROPE 2010 will analyze the main topics of the sector with authoritative specialists who will take stock of the state-of-the-art of the sector at both Italian and international level.
