Sea Tech Week | Olmix

Sea Tech Week

08-10-2018 / 12-10-2018 Brest | France

Olmix Group & CBB Capbiotek & Station Biologique de Roscoff

Olmix Group will take part in Sea Tech Week 2018 to be held in Brest, France, from 8th to 12th October. Our team will be co-organizing a session with CBB Capbiotek and the Roscoff's Biological Station entitled: 'Sustainable biorefinery for marine resources'. We are looking forward to meeting you!

BT3 - Sustainable biorefinery for marine resources

Led by CNRS SBR and Olmix Group, partners of the GENIALG H2020 project*, and CBB Capbiotek, this one-day session will be the opportunity to discover pioneering companies and projects implementing the concept of large-scale integrated biorefineries in the EU.

International academic and industrial references will describe advances on the process of cracking the biomass and developing a wide diversity of products. This conference will address scientific discoveries and industrial developments in the value chains for seaweed biorefineries but also for other biomass in the blue biotechnology sector.

 

*This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research
and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727892.
