Amsterdam, Wednesday, 18 June 2025.
Victor Meijer, Senior Investment Manager at Invest-NL, will explore the profitable potential of seaweed ventures to tackle climate change and pollution at the NSS25 conference.
Invest-NL’s Vision for a Sustainable Future
Invest-NL, a Dutch investment firm known for its strategic role in sustainable finance, is focusing its efforts on the seaweed industry as a sustainable financial venture. At the NSS25 conference, scheduled for 28 October 2025 aboard the SS Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Victor Meijer will discuss how seaweed can serve as a viable investment for addressing pressing global issues such as climate change and pollution [1]. This event will bring together industry leaders and investors to explore the integration of environmental sustainability with economic growth [1].
Opportunities in Seaweed Ventures
Seaweed ventures, often viewed as part of the circular economy, provide robust opportunities for aligning profit with ecological benefit. The versatile applications of seaweed, from biofuels to biodegradable plastics, make it an attractive investment option for companies like Invest-NL [1]. These innovations not only promise reducing carbon footprints but also assist in economic resilience through sustainable practices [2].
Strategic Discussions and Networking
The NSS25 conference will feature a panel discussion titled ‘From Promise to Business: A 360° Look at the Seaweed Business,’ where leading experts, including Victor Meijer, will share insights into overcoming financial and logistical challenges in scaling seaweed businesses [1]. This session is particularly aimed at stakeholders in green innovation, emphasizing the need for strategic financing to scale eco-friendly initiatives effectively [3].
Aligning Profit with Purpose
The potential of seaweed as a sustainable resource underscores a wider trend in investment strategies geared towards environmental solutions. By investing in seaweed, stakeholders not only pursue profitability but also contribute to wider ecological and societal benefits, reinforcing the principle of aligning profit with purpose [3]. Such endeavors are particularly significant in the context of increasing regulatory pressures and consumer demand for sustainability [2].
