Official visit in China for the preparation of COP21

Looking forward to the upcoming COP 21 that will take place in Paris from 30 November to 11 December, François Hollande visited China early this month to prepare the conference with his Chinese counterpart, the president Xi Jinping.

During his visit, the President was accompanied by representatives of the 50 most innovative companies in green and circular economy sectors in France. Hervé Balusson, CEO and founder of Olmix Group, was one of the delegates.

The Forum hosted by the 2 leaders gathered together Chinese and French companies engaged in solutions that reconcile the economic development and the fight against climate change. At the end of this Forum, the Chinese Prime Minister stated the firmly commitment of China in achieving the green economy.

This vision of agricultural economies both productive and natural and in respect with the environment, is shared by Olmix Group for more than 20 years. Algae are the first carbon reservoir of the Earth, they don’t require either irrigation or land in order to develop themselves, they don’t compete with the other resources, and they are a net contributor to the global food security. Moreover, the technological innovations developed by Olmix show that is possible to manufacture a healthy nutrition, without antibiotics, pesticides or chemical additives, thanks to algae.

The common statement of both the French and the Chinese Presidents that “emphasize the essential role of technology innovation to meet the interrelated challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation” offers a promising outlook for the development of Olmix Group in China.
