What to expect from an NAA Algae Production Workshop?

Collaboration and open, honest conversation about commercial algae production - not the latest, greatest new algae research technology that’s not out of the lab yet or projects that can’t be verified. The algae production industry today is being built by private industry with private investment, not the next research grant.
