The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says a Finland-based company is looking to establish a cutting-edge bio-refinery in Trinidad and Tobago, using proven technology to transform Sargassum into high-value ingredients for the global cosmetics market.
Foreign Affairs Minister Sean Sobers revealed the development at a high-level forum in South Korea, noting that the partnership could help tackle the persistent Sargassum invasion that has been damaging marine life, tourism, and fishing across the country.
Minister Sobers says the initiative presents a major opportunity—offering environmental relief while creating jobs and supporting the nation’s push toward economic diversification.
