Microalgae are an inexhaustible source of proteins, lipids, pigments, vitamins or carbohydrates, among others. Therefore,they find potential commercial applications in several sectors of economic activity. Some of them are already commerciallyviable, i.e. in aquaculture, agriculture, human nutrition or cosmetics, while some others still need R&D to be furtherdeveloped, i.e. in bioenergy or pharma. In addition, bearing in mind that microalgae are the most efficient natural CO2capturing system, are very productive and do not compete with fertile lands, they have potential to simultaneously contributeto palliate the big crisis humankind is facing: environmental sustainability, energetic efficiency, and food security.AlgaEnergy, a solid Spanish biotechnology based SME, did identify this potential. Since its establishment, it has served as avehicle to consolidate the existing knowledge within the scientific field of microalgae in Spain -a recognized international hubin the matter-, which was dispersed across universities. Using it as a stepping stone, it has been investing in generatingfurther R&D in order to scale-up the processes and develop ready to market products, so that the achievements in the labphase reach also the society. Within this task, AlgaEnergy has recently been able to reach a semi-industrial scale (TRL 7)with the start of the first phase operations of its semi-industrial plant in South of Spain, which captures real flue gasemissions directly from the second biggest combined cycle plant in Europe, being a worldwide premiere. Therefore,AlgaEnergy is now ready to orientate its technology towards the commercialization of its already commercially viableproducts. INTERnational COmmercialization of innovative products based on MicroalgaE (INTERCOME– the second phase of the SME Instrument projectALGAEPRINT) is based on the commercial orientation that is needed to make AlgaEnergy financially autonomous, aftermillionaire resources and 8 years of efforts invested in applied R&D.
