Reinventing the food system
In 2050, the world population will reach 10 billion humans.
The current food production system can not scale.
We believe that the solution can be found in nature.
The power of microalgae
Microalgae is the first organism that developed photosynthesis,
and produces 50% of the oxygen we breathe.
There are 400 000 types of plants, and 800 000 types of microalgae.
There is unlimited potential to uncover.
Our vision
At Kyanos, we draw our inspiration from natural ecosystems.
We do more with less, and we think about the future, learn about the past and act in the present.
We know microalgae, and we are pioneers in cultivation.
Our ingredient
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae was supposed to be impossible to grow in pods.
We did it, we are first.
They talk about us
