The team engaged directly with policymakers, researchers, and investors driving Qatar’s climate agenda. As a biotech startup, discussions centered on turning research into scalable implementation, validating ALGAQ’s mission to support the bio-circular economy. The experience inspired them to accelerate R&D and build partnerships aligned with Qatar’s national sustainability goals.
