MULTIPLY project

📌 MULTIPLY at the Algae Industry Summit 2025 in Berlin! Last week, MULTIPLY project joined the Algae Industry Summit, where key players from across the algae sector shared insights on both #microalgae and #macroalgae. Represented by A4F-Algae for Future and SUBMARINER Network for Blue Growth EEIG Network, we networked, exchanged views, and handed out MULTIPLY flyers at the SUBMARINER stand. From seaweed crackers and Spirulina ice cream, to textiles, biopackaging, and cosmetics, the summit showcased just how many real applications algae already has. 🟢 It was a solid reminder of the work ahead—and a boost to keep going. There’s still plenty to do, but we’re moving in the right direction. #EU4Algae #EUProjects #CBEJU
