The company has received significant funding through different (primarily Norwegian) funding programs over the years. Funding has been related to preclinical and clinical studies examining potential health effect of the novel marine oil from C. finmarchicus, as well as the health benefit of using our hydrolysate in feed for the aquaculture industry. In addition, the company has received funding to support the opening of our new bio-refinery (opened in august 2021) and to further develop the harvesting technologies. The company is still part of several funding programs.
