Project: ALLIANCE

ALLIANCE aims to broaden the uptake of microalgae-based products in the EU market, improving the cost-effectiveness, circularity, and overall sustainability of production, processing and product development steps.  The overall ambition is to demonstrate the effective establishment of algae-based mid-value ingredients using multi-product biorefineries for food, cellular agriculture, aquafeed, and agriculture sectors.  

September 2025 - August 2029

HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-IA-02

Aller Aqua is a key industrial partner in aquaculture for the Alliance project, focusing on the development of sustainable functional aquafeed. In this project, AA will produce and test functional feed in field conditions to assess the positive effects of selected algae ingredients on reducing winter ulcers and enhancing the overall mucosal health and well-being of farmed salmon. 

Algae are a valuable source of protein, fatty acids, vitamins, and pigments, making them a common ingredient in aquafeeds and other industries. In addition to their nutritional benefits, algae are rich in bioactive compounds that can significantly improve the health and welfare of farmed fish. Research and development focused on identifying and testing new phytogenics is essential for enhancing overall health and welfare, particularly in light of changing climate conditions and the emergence of new diseases.
