A 2-day event in Oban, Scotland, uniting seaweed science, sustainability & innovation across beauty, biotech & beyond!

When Canada and Scotland team up over seaweed, big things happen. This partnership is more than just a cross-border handshake — it’s a deep dive into business development, ocean innovation, and sustainable product creation that benefits both sides of the Atlantic. At the heart of this collaboration is a shared belief: macro and microalgae aren’t just marine marvels — they’re future-making ingredients. From skincare actives to next-gen bioplastics, from fashion fibers to functional foods, seaweed is proving it can do it all. And as demand for sustainable, traceable, and planet-friendly materials continues to rise, both countries are riding the wave together.
