Small organisms with massive potential. Algae are reshaping the value chains of tomorrow.

The challenge

Algae are trending in innovation, but with applications spread across food, materials, energy, and climate tech, it’s hard to grasp where they truly deliver impact. Industries need clarity to tap into algae’s potential beyond the hype, and translate it into real, scalable solutions.

Our approach

We explored over 9,000 peer-reviewed review articles to understand where algae are already driving change, and where they’re expected to disrupt next. Patterns in research, patents, and funding revealed reinvention across value chains, from nutrition to climate action.

The solution

Algae are more than a trend; they are driving new ideas across industries. From edible packaging to biofuels, seawater desalination to carbon capture, algae’s versatility spans domains.
