MICROALGAE · BIOTECHNOLOGY · SUSTAINABILITY

Growing the natural compounds of tomorrow.

Algazyme is building a microalgae-based biotechnology platform to sustainably produce high-value natural compounds — from enriched biomass to premium purified ingredients.

FROM OUR LABMicroalgae observed under the microscope

Biology is our manufacturing platform.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Nature makes extraordinary molecules.
We are rethinking how they are produced.

High-value natural compounds are essential across aquaculture, nutrition, cosmetics and other industries. Algazyme is developing microalgae-based production systems designed around biology, scalability and circularity.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

A simple path from biology to market.

We combine strain development, resource-efficient cultivation and scalable processing to create high-value products from microalgae.

🧬01

Strain development

Develop and optimize microalgal systems for target natural compounds.

🧪02

Lab validation

Validate production and cultivation performance at laboratory scale.

♻️03

Circular cultivation

Explore low-cost resources such as suitable industrial residual streams.

🌿04

Enriched biomass

Produce microalgal biomass enriched in the target compound.

✨05

Premium ingredients

Purify compounds when customer and industry requirements call for it.

OUR FIRST APPLICATIONS

OUR PRODUCT PATHWAY

From enriched biomass to premium ingredients.

Our commercialization strategy is designed to evolve with customer needs, starting with compound-enriched microalgal biomass and expanding toward purified ingredients for applications that require higher purity and tailored specifications.

STAGE 01

Enriched Biomass

Microalgal biomass enriched in target natural compounds, designed to reduce downstream processing and enable a more cost-effective route to market.

→
STAGE 02

Premium Ingredients

Purified high-value natural compounds developed according to the purity, formulation and performance requirements of specific industries and customers.

WHY MICROALGAE

Small organisms.
Big potential.

01

Photosynthetic production

Microalgae use light and carbon dioxide to grow, offering a compelling biological foundation for future manufacturing.

02

Circular by design

Our long-term vision explores integration with CO₂, residual nutrient streams and waste heat where technically appropriate.

03

A platform, not a single product

Astaxanthin and cinnamaldehyde are starting points for a broader portfolio of high-value natural compounds.

THE TEAM

Scientists building beyond the lab.

Algazyme brings together a scientific founding team working at the intersection of microalgae, biotechnology and entrepreneurship.
