Turning Untapped
Into Unstoppable
Into Unstoppable
From seaweed to systems change. At Algavo, we unlock the power of marine biomass, like sargassum, to transform ocean overflow into high-value bioactives with real regenerative impact. Rooted in science, strategy, and sustainability, we turn marine waste into industrial opportunity and ecological renewal.

Our Portfolio
Where Strategy Meets Impact
Where Strategy Meets Impact
We build what we believe in by developing ventures that drive marine regeneration.
Modular Marine Biorefineries
Algavo Internal Project
We’re designing scalable, nearshore biorefineries converting seaweeds like sargassum into high-value bioactives. Positioned between biomass harvesting and industries like cosmetics, food, and pharma, this model unlocks value at the source by turning waste into wealth.
The ORSS Project
Partner Collaboration
As partners of the Oceanic Restoration Submersive Systems in Norway, we tackle ocean degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate impact through restorative design. The ORSS Project exemplifies our commitment to systemic change below the surface.
Why It Matters
The Blue Opportunity
The Blue Opportunity
Marine biomass is a powerful yet overlooked resource. Most of it is wasted. We see potential.
From Linear to Circular
We help shift marine industries away from extractive models toward circular systems that regenerate ecosystems and create lasting value.
From Biomass to Strategy
Through consulting and innovation, we turn biomass challenges into opportunities like managing seaweed blooms or developing high-value applications.
From Example to Ecosystem
Our seaweed refining work shows what’s possible. But it’s just one example of the broader change we drive across the marine economy.
We’re flipping the script toward a circular, thriving ocean economy.
Our Innovation Stack
Beyond Consulting. Driving Impact.
Beyond Consulting. Driving Impact.
We’re more than consultants. At Algavo, we bring our full selves to transform the marine bioeconomy.
Rooted in Science
and Reflection
and Reflection
Guided by expertise in marine biology and bioinformatics, we combine science with thoughtful, ongoing reflection to create meaningful impact.
Circular by Nature
Our work is driven by a commitment to restore ecosystems, closing feedback loops and building systems that nurture both people and planet.
Redesigning Systems,
Not Patching
Not Patching
We are tired of slow, bureaucratic processes. Instead, we focus on reimagining value chains to foster genuine, scalable transformation.
Committed to
Real Change
Real Change
Change happens when people put their resources behind their beliefs. That’s the principle behind everything we do, whether at Algavo or beyond.
We build the future, one tide at a time, with intention and impact.
