As the population and the wealth of developing nations grow, the need for protein is expected to increase dramatically. Aquaculture represents one of the most realistic opportunities to meet this anticipated demand and therefore significant growth in the industry is in need innovative technologies that are sustainable and environmentally conscious. Creating feed that produces healthy fish while at the same time providing the quality products that consumers are expecting is one of the challenges that KnipBio is tackling.

KnipBio's single cell protein (SCP) technology platform enables a high quality protein alternative to fish meal or soy protein concentrate in aquafeeds, as well as providing high value molecules like antioxidant carotenoids, and immune-enhancing properties that lead to healthier fish and shrimp. KnipBio Meal (KBM) products lower the cost of high-value biomolecules and improve the health of aquatic animals on the farm to make operations more profitable.

In this presentation, KnipBio will provide an update on its technical progress including the expansion of its R&D activities and the current status of the scale-up program as we are entering into a commercialization phase to meet our customer's demand.
