MiAlgae, led by CEO Douglas Martin, is a biotechnology company that produces sustainable marine Omega 3s from by-products of the whisky industry. By using microalgae to create these essential nutrients, the company aims to reduce the reliance on fish oil in aquaculture, pet food, and plant-based sectors. MiAlgae's circular economy model focuses on upcycling by-products and minimizing environmental impact, making it a valuable and sustainable alternative for commercial partners.

With the opening of a new production facility in Grangemouth, MiAlgae plans to scale up their production and reach a broader market. The company's modular technology allows for scalable growth, and strong government backing has helped them advance to the next stage of expansion. Looking ahead, MiAlgae's key priorities include increasing market reach, exploring opportunities in the plant-based sector, and continuing to innovate and develop sustainable solutions for Omega-3 production.
