From 13th to 15th May 2025, Leitat participated in the Food4Future – Expo FoodTech in Bilbao, a major international event that brings together leading innovations in automation, AI, packaging, logistics, and sustainability for the food and beverage industry. The event served as a valuable platform for promoting the EU-funded INNOAQUA project, which focuses on sustainable aquaculture and the development of high-value algae-based ingredients for food systems.
The Horizon Europe-funded INNOAQUA project is pleased to support and co-organise the upcoming workshop on nutrient in aquaculture and fisheries, hosted by the European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform (ESPP) in collaboration with NORCE, UNEP uPcycle, and a wide network of international partners. This three-day hybrid event, taking place from 10 to 12 June 2025 in Bergen, Norway, is recognised as an EU Green Week Partner Event and will contribute to the development of a UNEP White Paper on phosphorus sustainability in aquaculture.
Most Europeans still see microalgae as a niche “superfood” trend. Yet, this tiny powerhouse holds immense potential for sustainable food systems, bio-based materials, and aquaculture innovation. That’s where PEDAL Consulting steps in. As a key partner in the EU-funded INNOAQUA project, we lead strategic communication, dissemination, and exploitation efforts. Innovation shouldn't stay in the lab but reach people, policies, and markets across Europe.
