Relevance
"Algae are emerging as a leading solution for some of the world's toughest challenges, from combating climate change to feeding future generations. Fortune 500 companies in agriculture, water, energy and manufacturing are deploying algae technology today- with even bigger plans for the future. Meeting the rapidly growing demand for algae -- and achieving its full potential -- will require a new generation of algae farmers and technicians. The Algae Foundation is rising to the occasion, crafting curricula and creating career paths to unlock the industry's remarkable promise."
Matt Carr Executive Director
“The value of the technical work and curriculum being offered by ATEC will meet many demands we face currently in sustainable algae production as well as in future expansion of algae production. This program, and the students being developed in this program, are the future of our industry.”
