      Overview

      The final SW-GROW conference will be hosted by UHI Outer Hebrides on 6th September 2022 in Stornoway. Results from the last 3 years will be presented by partners.

      The objective of the project has been to increase economic opportunities in the seaweed industry by developing innovative working practices that can be widely adopted by SMEs involved in the industry and to develop quality seaweed products of consistent standard that are identifiable and can be clearly branded.

      The conference will give academics, local businesses and the public the opportunity to hear more about the project, view demonstrations of new digital apps and seaweed drying process and discuss the development of a new seaweed genetic database.
