Euglena Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Mitsuru Izumo) hosted the "Euglena Fest 2024" on October 20th, an engaging outdoor event created for fans of Euglena's pioneering products and research. This year's festival took place outside the company’s premises for the first time at Tamachi Tower Mall (1st floor) in Tokyo, inviting the public to experience Euglena's scientific advancements and sustainable business models.

Under the theme "Science and the Future," the 2024 event featured a unique opportunity for attendees to celebrate Euglena’s journey in microalgae research and to learn about the company’s vision for a sustainable future. As Euglena Co., Ltd. approaches its 20th anniversary in 2025, the festival highlighted the company’s commitment to scientific innovation and sustainability through interactive exhibits and live experiences. Attendees from various backgrounds—including local residents, students, and industry professionals—had the chance to explore exhibits on topics spanning healthcare, biofuel, and sustainable agritech.

One of the main attractions was a kitchen truck offering gourmet shrimp dishes made with caridean shrimp raised by Euglena's subsidiary, Euglena Taketomi Shrimp Aquaculture Co., Ltd., which joined the Euglena Group in 2015 to bring sustainable shrimp farming to the market. The culinary feature allowed attendees to taste the high-quality shrimp from Taketomi Island, enhancing the experiential aspect of the event.
