ABOUT BIOPHARMIA AND OUR HISTORY


Biopharmia focuses on commercialising our technology for production of microalgae. One of our goals is to build a production plant in Norway based on our technology.

Biopharmia works closely with Professor Joel Cuello at the University of Arizona.

We have operated our technology in a plant in Arizona since 2010 and produced many hundreds of kilos of algae.
