Algae Capital

Discover the power of microalgae

Algae Capital cultivates microalgae to develop high-quality nutrients that support human and planetary health. These microalgae are naturally rich in omega-3 (EPA), proteins and antioxidants. From state-of-the-art production facilities in Iceland and the Netherlands, Algae Capital produces sustainable alternatives to fish oil and animal proteins. With over 15 years of experience in R&D and its own cultivation system using glass tubular photobioreactors, Algae Capital develops innovative and scalable solutions for the food industry of the future.

Based in The Netherlands and Iceland

At Ultim, we believe in companies that enable real change. Algae Capital is a prime example of this.

The company makes a sustainable impact with biotechnology. In a completely closed cultivation environment, using renewable energy,_{CO2 from}the air is directly converted into nutrients that are good for both people and the climate. The photobioreactors create optimal algae growth all year round, regardless of seasons or weather conditions. What sets Algae Capital apart is its smart synergy with partners in high-tech horticulture, including Certhon (greenhouse engineering), Orance and Signify (both growth lighting) and Lgem (cultivation knowledge). This collaboration enables rapid, efficient upscaling. Global demand for plant-based omega-3 proteins is growing rapidly. That is why we recognise the growth potential of Algae Capital like no other.
