Seagriculture EU 2025 Heads to Rotterdam: Scaling the Seaweed Industry for a Sustainable Future
The Seagriculture EU 2025 conference, one of the leading conferences for the seaweed industry, is heading to Rotterdam, The Netherlands from 17 – 19 June 2025. Under the theme “Seaweed 2.0: Today’s Scaling for Tomorrow’s Needs”, this year’s conference will focus on scaling up and professionalizing the seaweed sector to meet the growing global demand for sustainable solutions. With an emphasis on collaboration across the value chain, Seagriculture EU 2025 will gather seaweed farmers, processors and distributors, buyers, equipment providers, researchers, investors, and policymakers, to drive synergy and build a resilient, future-proof seaweed industry.
Exclusive Site Visits – 17 June
The event opens on 17 June with two exclusive site visits. Participants can choose to visit either Hortimare in Heerhugowaard or the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) in Yerseke. The site visits have limited capacity and spots are filling quickly, so early registration is encouraged. More information about the site visits can be found here.
● At Hortimare you will have the chance to see their culture collection, cultivation systems, learn about how they approach breeding, support farming operations, and several other aspects.
● NIOZ, the Department of Estuarine and Delta Systems, invites you to their facilities in Yerseke for a scientific meeting and a tour to experience their seaweed research facilities. This meeting will be co-organised by the NWO-KIC Aquatic Food production projects CircAqua, SeaSeeds and From Sea to Society.
