Founded in 2016, Nordic SeaFarm is at forefront of making European seaweed truly available to industries. They grow high value species at their own state of the art seaweed farm and source sustainably from other partner farms. Research & development is in their DNA, and is why they have successfully completed multiple EU-research projects over the years and why they continue to break through with new innovative ways of farming seaweed at scale in the ocean. Nordic SeaFarm exists to drive change and to create a regenerative and prosperous planet.

The University of Gothenburg is one of Sweden's largest educational institutions with extensive offerings in both education and research. The University was founded in 1891 and has more than 58,000 students and 6,800 employees.

Murre Technologies has been supplying the EasyFarm system with which mussel seed cultivation is possible, for almost 20 years. Seaweed cultivation and processing is their next development. They are building a harvester that harvests the seaweed from the cultivation nets in the sea. Sowing seaweed is also part of the EasyFarm concept, which is why they supply the complete system for harvesting and sowing the seaweed. They have also developed a seaweed bubble washer to sort the sand and undersized waste such as crustaceans from the product during the washing process. The system is equipped with separation rollers for this, the washing water is continuously filtered through a separator drum. To reduce the iodine content, they use a blanching/cooling system.

In short, they are your partner in seaweed harvesting and processing!
