US Algae Association Hosts Forum - The US National Algae Association is hosting a business plan and networking forum on 10 April in The Woodlands, Texas, at which early stage algae production companies will showcase their ventures in front of an audience of algae researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and lenders.
