The main objective of this WP is to develop specific commercial applications for which microalgae has been shown to be a particularly high- performing alternative to existing solutions, sometimes harmful to human health. This is thanks to the feedback and expertise of partners, marketers, specialists in cosmetics, food supplements, animal nutrition and food.
