Presentation:

The seaweed industry will not thrive through isolated efforts or competition-driven thinking. This presentation challenges the scarcity mindset and explores how true industry growth comes from collaboration and an abundance mindset. We delve deeper in how success breeds success, and that when one company grows, it legitimizes the market, attracts investment, and strengthens the industry as a whole. How the exponential age will also influence the seaweed industry, and thus the business models that thrive in this new reality. Let’s explore how collaboration—not competition—fuels industry growth, ensuring that a rising tide lifts all boats. By working together, sharing knowledge, and building strong value chains, we can create a resilient and prosperous seaweed sector that benefits all players involved.
