VIDEOVERSLAG - North Sea Seaweed 2024. Vorige week troffen we op de Pier van Scheveningen de crème de la crème uit de zeewiersector op het North Sea Seaweed 2024 event. Met zicht op de in de Noordzee 🌊 gelegen NorthSeaFarm#1 merken we hoe er steeds meer momentum ontstaat voor deze duurzame sector, wat de Europese en lokale politiek doen om de ontwikkeling van de zeewierketen te stimuleren en maakten we kennis met tal van toepassingen van dit extreem veelzijdige product. Met een telefoon vol nieuwe contacten, financieringsbehoeften en veel nieuwe kennis(sen) gaan we in de komende weken ons uiterste best doen om deze prachtige, duurzame ontwikkeling te versnellen.
