ABOUT US
BioSyntex supplies technology and services for the cultivation of photosynthetic micro-organisms (microalgae and cyanobacteria).
Our interdisciplinary team is composed of biologists, biotechnologists, physicists and engineers and works alongside universities and strategic partners to promote the use of microalgae as an alternative high added-value natural sources for the food & beverage, agricultural, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and animal feed industries.
High technical, operational and managerial standards combined with consolidated know-how place us amongst the main technology & services providers in this sector.
BioSyntex was awarded two grants and loans in 2020 and 2021 (Smart & Start and Brevetti+) by Invitalia S.p.A., in the amount of approximately 950,000 and 150,000 Euros, respectively.
Microalgae, alternative high added-value natural sources.
At BioSyntex, we believe that microalgae will play a primary role in the development of the Green Economy.
The continuous growth in the world’s population (10 billion by 2050) and the lack of new arable land will require ever-increasing quantities of raw materials from alternative natural sources made using environmentally sustainable processes.
Fields of application
- Aquaculture
- Food & Beverage
- Biostimulants – biofertilizers
- Cosmetics
- Pharmaceutical

INVESTORS
A green investment opportunity
At BioSyntex we fulfill the circular economy model: the new economic development paradigm.
Industrial by-products (CO2 emissions, waste heat and nutrients from waste water) and raw materials made by microalgae are reused in new production cycles to obtain “green” products for the
Food & Beverage, agricultural, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and animal feed industries.
BioSyntex was awarded two grants and loans in 2020 and 2021 (Smart & Start and Brevetti+) by Invitalia S.p.A., in the amount of approximately 950,000 and 150,000 Euros, respectively.
INDUSTRIAL SYNERGIES
Industrial by-products from the upstream processes needed by the microalgae as “feed” for photosynthesis – CO2, heat, waste water and microelements – are used as the inputs for the cultivation process.
Downstream, depending on the species of microalgae being cultivated, are those industrial sectors in which microalgae represent a valuable raw material for biomass/microalgae extracts.
