Seagriculture EU

According to the organiser, the 16th edition of Seagriculture EU takes place from 15 to 17 June 2027 in Ostend, Belgium. The venue is De Grote Post. The conference has been organised in Europe since 2012 and describes itself as the leading conference for the seaweed industry.

The organiser says Seagriculture EU 2027 will gather top speakers who share their know-how on seaweed for feed, food, offshore cultivation, biorefinery of seaweed and much more. Its site also lists a conference programme, poster presentations, a trade show, a site visit and a conference dinner.

The organiser names seaweed producers, cultivation and harvesting technology providers, food companies seeking new product development, venture capitalists, academics and researchers, and government. Industries it expects to be interested include food, medicine and herbs, beauty and cosmetics, edible packaging, biofuel, fertilisers, climate change and bioremediation.

The organiser gives four reasons: to network and meet in person with decision-makers and innovators, to expand knowledge of seaweed farming, processing, sustainability and policy, to establish new business contacts with buyers, suppliers, investors and technology partners, and to obtain up-to-date market information.

According to the organiser, the 2026 edition was held on 16 to 18 June 2026 in Gothenburg, Sweden, and the 2025 edition on 17 to 19 June 2025 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The Seagriculture series has also run in the USA and Asia-Pacific.

The organiser's site has pages for registration, ticket prices, sponsorship, partners, the Ostend conference venue, accommodation, how to get there and a call for speakers. A conference brochure for 2027 can be downloaded from the home page. The conference is organised by DLG Benelux.
