About the Summit
Following the 2023 summit, the Deep Green Biotech Hub released the report Unlocking the growth and Innovation of the Australian Algae Industry: Insights from the 2023 Australian Business Summit, which represented 60% of Australian algae businesses, and won the MBCRC Spotlight award. This report outlines the key outcomes and recommendations from the event, offering guidance for policymakers, regulatory bodies, algae businesses and startups, and the private investment sector.
Building on the success of the 2023 Algae business Summit and accompanying White Paper, the 2025 Australian Algae Business Summit is scheduled for the 29th May in Sydney.
This year's summit will aim to further expand on the insights from the 2023 Summit and White Paper, with a focus of strengthening the market internationally, while fostering and strengthening relationships and collaboration domestically. The key outcome will be the production of an industry roadmap for the progression of the Australian algae industry, which will map future steps to establish the Australian market as an international key player.
The key theme the Summit aims to address is:
“Connecting domestically and expanding internationally.”
Presented by the NSW Deep Green Biotech Hub in collaboration with the Marine Bioproducts Cooperative Research Centre, the Algae Business Summit is an opportunity for stakeholders in industry, government and academia to share knowledge and identify key issues and opportunities surrounding the development of the algae industry within Australia.
Industry Vision: The vision for the Australian Algae Industry is to foster growth, innovation and international competitiveness, leveraging its unique selling points to contribute value to the global bioeconomy.
