Mission/Background :
Novelgen Co., Ltd. is a university spin-off biotech startup specializing in microalgae-based technologies. Novelgen develops sustainable solutions to global challenges - including climate change, water scarcity, and food security - by harnessing the natural power of microalgae through its proprietary mass-cultivation platform (ABC Technology). A key strength of this technology is its ability to simultaneously deliver multiple environmental functions - CO2 fixation, water purification, resource circulation, and microplastic adsorption - within a single integrated system. In recent years, Novelgen has been advancing the real-world deployment of microalgae-based technologies for aquaculture support, nutrient recovery from wastewater, local resource circulation, and carbon neutrality, accelerating pilot demonstrations and commercialization in partnership with municipalities and corporations. |
