The value proposition of algae technical metrics was the subject of a recent, industry-led, Focus Group interactive discussion. The interactive platform allowed for real time capturing and priority ranking of the topics that are deemed critical challenges for a future successful algae-based bioeconomy. This work ultimately sets the stage for providing guidance, methods, and standard reference materials tailored to respective algae industry segments for the cultivation, processing and marketing of high-quality and safe algae-based products. The group solicits input from the broader algae community on the value proposition and presents a case here to build a consensus around algae-specific metrics. The value proposition of technical standards to the industry is that guidance obtained through these collaborations builds producers' and consumers' trust that algae and algae-derived products are safe, reliable, and may allow for expanded market access, and increased competitiveness and international trade.

藻类技术指标的价值主张是最近由行业主导的焦点小组互动讨论的主题。交互式平台允许实时捕获主题并对其进行优先级排序，这些主题被认为是未来成功的基于藻类的生物经济所面临的重大挑战。这项工作最终为提供指南，方法和标准参考材料奠定了基础，这些指导信息，方法和标准参考材料是为藻类行业的各个细分市场量身定制的，用于高质量，安全藻类产品的种植，加工和销售。该小组就价值主张向广大藻类界征求意见，并在此提出了一个案例，以围绕藻类特定指标建立共识。技术标准对行业的价值主张是，通过这些合作获得的指导可以建立生产者的利益。
