Innovation is at the heart of a sustainable seaweed industry. Across Canada, researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs are developing new technologies — from efficient cultivation systems and mobile seaweed dryers to novel products for food, health, and cosmetics.

The CSIN connects innovators and knowledge-holders who are exploring new ways to grow, process, and use seaweed responsibly. Innovation isn’t limited to technology; it also includes creative partnerships, educational collaborations, and community-driven approaches that strengthen local economies and coastal resilience.
