ALGREEN
Algreen B.V. is a technical and regulatory provider for the microalgae sector. The company was founded in 2015 and is based in the Wageningen University Campus with the objective of promoting the use of microalgae for different applications. We provide tailored consultancy services ranging from the design, strain selection, operation and certification of microalgae facilities and products. We believe that great potential lies in the use of extremophile microalgae strains with innate abilities to thrive in uncommon environments. For that reason, we developed expertise on Spirulina or Galdieria sulphuraria as a catalyst organism for food and feed applications, as well as for the treatment of different effluents.
NECTON
Necton is the oldest company in Europe specialised in the cultivation and commercialisation of microalgae. After several years studying microalgae, a group of young entrepreneurs established Necton in 1997. As microalgae need plenty sunlight and water, the company was set on an ideal location to grow these organisms - the natural park of Ria Formosa in the south coast of Portugal. During the years the company acquired an extensive knowledge in cultivating not only marine, but also freshwater and hypersaline species. Biomass is nowadays produced in horizontal tubular photobioreactors and sold to various markets, including Aquaculture, Cosmetics and, more recently, Food. Necton's growth is also supported by a continuous R&D effort, summing more than 30 national and European-funded research projects along the years.
