GreenCoLab

GreenCoLab is a compact nonprofit Portuguese collaborative laboratory based at the University of Algarve in Faro, connecting research and industry around algal biotechnology. Its platform brings together two research centers, a state laboratory, the University of Aveiro, and private algae companies, giving corporate partners a direct route into shared R&D and technical services. Capabilities extend from cultivation and strain resources through processing, analysis, scale-up, and consulting, supporting movement from laboratory knowledge toward commercial development. Research is supported by Portugal’s Foundation for Science and Technology and by national and European competitive programs. GreenCoLab’s CoLAB structure is designed to accelerate knowledge transfer and industry-facing innovation.
