BlueMissionMed at the EU Algae Awareness Summit in Berlin  

BlueMissionMed partner FVA New Media Research represented the project at the 2nd EU Algae Awareness Summit  in Berlin, Germany on 16-17 October 2025. 

Over two days, the event, organised by EU4Algae, brought together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, investors, and the young generation to exchange knowledge, share success stories, and build new partnerships across the algae value chain.  

The conference highlighted pivotal role of algae in shaping Europe’s transition towards a resilient and regenerative blue bioeconomy and how awareness and education are central. 

Discussions focused on algae’s contribution to food security, climate neutrality, and the restoration of aquatic ecosystems - including both marine and freshwater environments – as well as on opportunities to accelerate innovation and investments in the sector. By gathering key algae stakeholders under one roof, the Summit reinforced Europe’s collective commitment to scaling up the algae industry and advancing the EU’s green and blue transitions.

During the event around 100 copies of the book for kids “Our Blue Treasure”, edited by FVA under BlueMissionMed project, were distributed to primary school students as part of the hands-on laboratories and policy makers and stakeholders.
