Reviving the oceans with profit
The global demand for seaweed is expanding. The commercial seaweed market could surpass US$85 billion by 2026.
We can revive the oceans with profit by addressing the global environmental challenge of the artificial nutrient overload of our oceans.
At Origin by Ocean, we will turn this challenge into an opportunity in our multi-product, high-efficiency biorefineries.
We produce bio-based ingredients such as emulsifiers and pigments for food, beverages, cosmetics, medicine and domestic detergent manufacturers. We are building a billion-dollar company and intend to become the global market leader in the ”nutrient removal” business.
Our Value Creation
To our customers, Origin by Ocean creates value by offering bio-based and non-synthetic ingredients that improve sustainability throughout the value chain up to the end user. Products of animal origin are replaced by plant-based innovations.
Baltic sea pilot plant in full-scale production by 2025
Plant uses harvested blue-green algae and bladderwrack
80,000 tons of biomass converted to 10,000 tons of products
Annual turnover in excess of €50m
Highly profitable, global scalability and licensing
We at Origin by Ocean see great potential in this biomass and want to turn an environmental problem into a valuable and viable business.

Better off Blue- Best Business Model, Category Winner
Origin by Ocean has secured seed phase funding of €2m for the development of algae processing technology. Our pilot algae processing plant, the first of its kind in Finland, should be operational with full production capacity in 2025.
Our successful seed financing round, along with our numerous partnerships, shows us that markets are opening up for business ideas and concepts built upon a strong foundation of sustainability and the principles of a circular economy. Investors were strongly attracted to our seed financing round and their commitment to our vision confirms that we are on the right track. We now have the opportunity to carry out our plans – we will reduce the eutrophication problem in the Baltic Sea while simultaneously generating value.
The global market potential of processed algae is huge.
