Algae Technology Platform USA College Station, Texas - March 21, 2012 To be held at the Kona Kai Spa & Resort in San Diego, California. Day 1, April 11, 2012 Investors Meet Developers. Day 2 & 3 April 12-13, 2012: practical short course on Algae Harvesting and Processing for Value Added Applications.
"Algae based technologies have become one of the most successful production systems for an unlimited range of high value products, as well as for biomass used for making biofuels, chemicals and aquaculture feed. Algae technology can deliver pure compounds such as antioxidants and omega-3s, the healthy ingredients to be utilized in functional foods. Algae biomass production is also creating huge potential to produce quality biofuels, and aquaculture feed. In Aquafeed, algae could replace fish protein, and act as precursor for omega-3 rich oil synthesis," said Dr. Koen Vanhoutte of Navicula.
The Algae Technology Platform Americas targets companies and decision makers such as entrepreneurs, business executives, technicians, product formulators, plant engineers, processors, chemists, sales and marketing specialists, new business development, R&D, and producers making novel products based on Algae.
On day 1, Investors will meet Developers, in a session reviewing Market potential and Capital requirements, followed by Strategies to develop successful Algae investments and business. This session will give developers an exclusive opportunity to present their projects and market ideas and confront these with investor's ideas on successful business development.
On day 2 and 3, the technical short course will have over twenty experts from the industry reviewing Market Trends and Challenges, and Algae application areas. Technical requirements for Algae Growing for Cell Harvesting, will be followed by the main session bringing the latest Downstream Processing Technologies.
According to Dr. S. Sefa Koseoglu of Filtration and Membrane World, who has trained over 3,500 engineers, technicians, chemists, technologists and entrepreneurs through his practical short courses in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Asia, "Most of the practical Algae Processing, Application and Product information is NOT available through open literature. The equipment companies and OEMs are a great resource for algae processors who are looking for new methods to eliminate process bottlenecks, enhance overall downstream processing efficiency, and offer new products to increase their profitability"

The GLOBAL OMEGA-3 SUMMIT 2012 Optimal Omega-3 Intake from Sustainable Sources - Ghent Marriott Hotel, Ghent, Belgium - Monday, April 23, 2012
The Global Omega-3 Summit 2012 is the follow-up of the successful policy summit of 2011, where six consensus statements were signed by all participants.
The Omega- Summit 2012 will build on these consensus statements and look at three themes:
How can optimized levels of Omega-3s be reached and for what specific health and mental health objectives? What are safe levels of use?
What is the difference of consuming sc- and lc-Omega-3s? How can all Omega-3s be made beneficial in healthy food and supplement products?
How can the supply of lc-Omega-3s such as obtained from fish and fish oil, or other new sources such as algae or vegetable sources be made more sustainable ad guarantee sufficient supply as needed to obtain the targets set in the consensus positions?
We welcome all stakeholders of the food, food ingredient, and supplement industry, as well as scientists and researchers, and legislators and industry associations to join in the three debates at the Omega-3 Summit 2012.
