Our Vision
To become a national and international leader in microalgae biotechnology, driving the transition toward more sustainable industries. We are committed to pioneering technologies that enable the efficient production of high-value compounds—promoting nutritional equity, advancing the circular economy, reducing carbon footprints, and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources.
Our core values
At StirpiaTec, our work is built on scientific excellence and environmental responsibility. We guarantee products of the highest quality, designed to create a positive impact on society.
Scientific research
With strong expertise in molecular biology and metabolic engineering, we have developed strains capable of producing exceptional levels of healthy omega-3 lipids (DHA and EPA), as well as lipids ideal for the biofuels industry. Our results-driven approach allows us to deliver cutting-edge solutions that set new standards across industries.
Advanced Production
We innovate with purpose—developing original biotechnological solutions that address the real challenges faced by industry, society, and the planet.
Through our advanced diatom strain technology, we are shaping the future of industry, nutrition, and health.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of StirpiaTec. Our eco-friendly processes minimize environmental impact and promote responsible practices. Diatom cultivation naturally captures CO₂, requires no farmland or freshwater, and helps prevent ocean overexploitation. Furthermore, we integrate waste into a circular economy model, adding value at every step.
Why microalgae?
Microalgae are powerful unicellular organisms that thrive with just light and CO₂—nature’s own air purifiers.
Our diatoms grow optimally in seawater, avoiding pressure on freshwater resources. They are natural producers of Omega-3 oils (EPA and DHA), essential for human health and key to neurological and cardiovascular well-being. Unlike fish-based sources, they are free of heavy metals and contaminants, making them safe, sustainable, and 100% vegan. Even better, they can be cultivated in non-arable lands, turning "unproductive" areas into hubs of innovation and value.
Our unique diatom processing model goes beyond lipids. Alongside premium omega-3s and biofuel precursors, we obtain silica nanocapsules from their cell walls—perfect for delivering chemicals or pharmaceuticals in agroindustry, reducing agricultural input use. We also extract natural antioxidant pigments with high pharmaceutical potential.
At StirpiaTec, we are not just cultivating microalgae—we are cultivating the future.
