I have started a database of all companies working on seaweed, microalgae and cyanobacteria (spirulina).
The database currently contains around 800 companies, 150 investors and 150 species of algae.
Development of the database
There is more work to do, both in terms of adding new companies, as well as completing and verifying the information of companies already in the database.
I would also like to offer more original reporting on the business of seaweed and microalgae.
To improve and extend the work done so far, Phyconomy is in need of some money. That is why the database has now become a paying feature at 5 euro / month.
Accessing the database
The full database is accessible on this page. You will be prompted to pay by a paywall. After payment, you will be able to access the full database.
The demo views below are limited to 100 companies.

Feedback
If you want to add or correct some data yourself about your own organisation, please send me a message, and I will correct it.
Any other comments, positive or negative, are also much appreciated!
Hat tip
The EU’s EMODNET database was an excellent point of departure for my own efforts. Many thanks to the authors for sharing their work.
Wow what a great resource you’ve compiled here! As someone with great interest in starting my own business in the field, this will be very useful for my research in the coming months. There are lots of organizations and companies popping up all over the US as well, so plenty more information to add to your database there.
Thank you!

This is indeed going to be a useful and comprehensive database valuable for manufacturers, students and ofcourse the consumer industry
Hi Steven,
great work!
Are you aware of the work being done presently by Rita Araujo from the EU JRC? She and collegues are compiling – and soon publishing – an overivew of European companies producing and processing micro- and macroalgae.
Thank you Annette! Rita Araujo’s work has been the start of this database (see second paragraph). I didn’t know she was planning an update, I should get in touch with her.
Wow, what a fantastic resource Steven! Many thanks for compiling this list.
Very Good documents.
Thank you
Hi Steven,
May I congratulate you on a great piece of work and a superbly designed interface.
I am sure that it will provide a valuable resource, especially for algae companies looking for investors and collaborators.
We have been working on microalgae for longer than most of the companies in your database.
Keep up the good work.
