Case Study: OPBio
OPBio, based in Okinawa, Japan, is dedicated to advancing algae-based biotechnology through the development of specialised strains for novel applications. Among their diverse algae portfolio is Pavlova, a strain gaining recognition for its nutritional benefits and promising applications in food production.
Case Study: Heirbaut aLgriculture
Heirbaut aLgriculture, a forward-thinking farm-based enterprise in Belgium, sought to diversify its operations with an innovative algae cultivation project. Their aim was to produce Chlorella—a nutrient-rich microalgae—as a novel food stream, tapping into emerging consumer demand for sustainable, high-quality protein sources.
Case Study: Bogazichi
Bogazici University, located just north of Istanbul, Turkey, is renowned for its pioneering research into algae biotechnology. Researchers at Bogazici explore a diverse range of algae species, evaluating their potential in sustainable biofuels, innovative food products, and extraction of high-value bioactive compounds.
