Algae-C

Algae-C is a biotechnology company that reprograms microalgae, allowing them to produce high-value plant molecules for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and beauty industries. Current manufacturing is challenged by: 1) Either quality challenges or high costs, 2) Over-reliance on overseas production, which has increased in price by up to 140 percent, and 3) Significant environmental footprints. Algae-C’s platform technology mitigates these issues by using microalgae to economically, sustainably, and locally produce molecules that are normally only found in terrestrial plants.
