Noordzeeboerderij 2021: North Sea Farmers

We have a lot of exciting news to share with you! With a new year ahead we would like to share our adjusted working methods to improve our support to the community, our main objectives for next year, actions in policies, tangible products and developments such as the seaweed business case (!) and… a new branding for our movement: North Sea Farmers.

Pioneering investments: financing and mitigating risks of large scale offshore seaweed farming

In order to achieve our common goal of large-scale seaweed cultivation in the North Sea, a number of hurdles must be overcome. With two financial experts with both a private and public perspective we want to discuss insights from the seaweed business case, risk register and offshore pilots. What is the role of investors and what role could (or should) policy makers play in this? Let’s hear it!
Guests: Emine Topal, Green Giraffe and Anne Mieke van der Werf, Invest-NL

Take your business to the next level by utilizing the potential of seaweed
Recently we have started a large-scale market study to identify the potential of seaweed in the food industry. In this context we will talk about the set-up, the expected insights and how we can use these to take your business and our sector to the next level. By combining different viewpoints we hope to encourage a fruitful discussion between our speaker and you via the chat.
