MiAlgae

MiAlgae is an Edinburgh biotechnology company producing omega-3 ingredients from microalgae. Founded in 2016, the business has developed a fermentation-based production process intended to create an alternative source of omega-3 for feed and related markets.

The company grows microalgae in controlled production systems and processes the resulting material into ingredients rich in omega-3 oils. Its model uses inputs from other industrial processes as part of the production cycle, linking biotechnology with food and feed supply chains. MiAlgae's commercial work covers product development, production scale-up and supply to customers seeking algae-derived omega-3 ingredients.

MiAlgae Ltd is an active Scottish company based at Heriot-Watt University's Research Park in Edinburgh. The location gives the business access to a wider science and innovation community while providing a base for technical, commercial and production activity. ScottishBusiness.com lists MiAlgae under Manufacturing because its business model centres on producing physical biotechnology-derived ingredients for commercial customers.
