Sustainable management and efficient use of water resources are crucial in the fish production and processing sectors, particularly considering growing public concern for aquatic ecosystems. Tailoring water use and reuse to specific production or processing conditions is crucial, considering potential reusable sources, applications for reused water, treatment technologies, and operator capabilities to enhance both efficiency and sustainability in the seafood sector.

The INNOAQUA Project is pleased to announce that NORCE, the project coordinator, along with project partner A4F, will participate in ALGAEurope 2024, taking place in Athens from December 10-13. This annual conference, which attracts over 400 experts from more than 45 countries, is a premier event for algae industry professionals, scientists, and policy-makers, offering unique insights into the latest advancements in algae production and commercialization.

The INNOAQUA Project is pleased to announce that our project partner, INESC TEC, will be presenting the project’s pioneering work at the upcoming XXVIII Encontro Galego-Português de Química. 

One of the main objectives of the INNOAQUA project is to extract high-added value ingredients from algae biomass, both macroalgae and microalgae, to be used in the formulation of innovative seafood products. In this sense, ALGEMY INGREDIENTS SL is taking an active role in the demonstration of the microalgae biorefinery in a pre-commercial scale, developing a sustainable single cascade extraction process suitable to obtain several ingredients that meet the food formulators needs and that can valorise the whole microalgae biomass.

The INNOAQUA project, in collaboration with our project partner Sustainn, is excited to invite you to a dynamic and insightful webinar focused on exploring the cutting-edge advancements in sustainability and circularity within the world of algae-based foods and solutions.

The INNOAQUA project intends to contribute decisively for the development of a sustainable and diversified EU in-land aquaculture industry. It is set to achieve this by demonstrating and mainstreaming innovative algae-based foods and solutions, based on ecological, circularity and digitalization concepts.

INNOAQUA, represented by project partner ECO Imagination, took center stage at the ECO-Evolution event on August 14th. This event, dedicated to fostering sustainable innovation, was the perfect platform to introduce the ambitious scope and groundbreaking concept of the INNOAQUA project to a diverse audience of industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders.

The INNOAQUA Project represented by project coordinator NORCE and project partner A4F took part in the AQUA 2024 event held from August 26-30 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This prestigious event was organized by our project partner, the European Aquaculture Society (EAS), in collaboration with the World Aquaculture Society, and highlighted the vital role of aquatic food in shaping the future of our global food systems.

The INNOAQUA project, a pioneering initiative focused on innovative aquaculture technologies, was represented by project partner Algemy at the I Congreso Iberoamericano de Alimentos 4.0 on August 21-22, 2024. This prestigious event, held in Argentina, is the first of its kind, bringing together leading experts, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals from across the Ibero-American region to explore and discuss the latest advancements in food technology and digital transformation within the agri-food sector.

The INNOAQUA project will be featured at the upcoming I Congreso Iberoamericano de Alimentos 4.0: Aplicaciones en Gastronomía y Agroindustria in Concordia, Entre Ríos, Argentina. This prestigious conference, taking place from August 21-22, 2024, will gather over 350 participants from across Latin America, the United States, and Spain, including experts from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, México, and more.
