Biography
Henry Bedoya moved from the interpreter and translation field into food production at greenhouse conditions with a master degree in plant sciences at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. This travel started with the EU project under the Research for SME program titled, “Operation SWAT” under contract n: 286840 and comprehended cost-effective microalgae biomass production in two processes: upscaling (upstream) and harvesting (downstream). The misconception that microalgae cells´ physiology requires highest irradiation input only available at the tropic and subtropical latitudes has been the biggest hinder to overcome. Innovation and further implementation of the data registered in his experiments and further investigation on his own is leading to a start-up enterprise in near future.
