Bio-Me Is Setting The Standard For Routine Microbiome Analysis Gut microbiome research has become essential to almost every medical research field. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been crucial in enabling a breakthrough in our understanding of the significant role gut microbes play in health and disease. However, the field is now moving past the exploratory research phase and there is a need to translate microbiome research findings into actionable clinical solutions. Application of NGS for this purpose faces several challenges related to precision, turnaround time, cost per sample, and the need for complex bioinformatic pipelines. Our mission is to provide researchers and industry with a qPCR-based analysis service that delivers actionable microbiome results.

Grentech Innovators AS is dedicated to: Give Waste a value. We are developing new waste management solution by using biotechnology for convertion of organic waste like food waste, into protein and organic fertilizer. The traditional waste management solutions like landfill, composting, biogas production or incineration are all leading to green house gas emission and the economic value of the end product is low or negative. The greenhouse gas Methane is a 72 times more potent greenhouse gas than carbondioxide, and organic waste on landfills are responsible for 11 % of Methane emission. The global aquaculture industry is a great source for healthy food and has been in strong annual growth for decades, but in order to continue growing it is crucial to find new sources for feed,in particular protein and omega-3 oils. The supply of traditional feed sources like fish meal and soy are limited, and there are environmental conserns to increase soy production. In Greentech Innovators we are now investing in a pilot plant for fermentation of food waste into Single cell protein and organic fertilizer in Bergen. We have a dedicated team, and the second largest waste management company in Norway,BIR ,as partner. We are now searching for investors to finalize the pilot palnt and scale up the production. If you are looking for investment in a company that strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase production of food for the growing population Greentech Innovators is a good choice.
