The transformation in how we all produce and consume starts with the choices we make every day. Our biosolutions make it easier for you to choose a healthier life on a healthier planet.
The transformation starts here
Three ways to a healthier life on a healthier planet
Biosolutions for human health
People today want to be in control of their health at every life stage. And their needs are more complex and expectations higher than ever.
With our scientifically-researched and clinically-tested biosolutions for a stronger body and mind, they can navigate to better lifelong health.
Our portfolio is manufactured at scale in-house and includes prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, novel vitamins, proteins and many other biosolutions to help you meet people’s complex needs.
Biosolutions for food and beverages
By 2050, we’ll need to feed two billion more people. At the same time, food producers face ever-changing consumer demands, a challenging economic climate and increased legislative requirements.
Our biosolutions help get more from less and make processes more sustainable and efficient. They enable great taste, texture and appearance with simpler, shorter labels.
They also extend shelf life, improve nutritional profiles and deliver novel health benefits. And they unlock new, more sustainable, protein sources.
Biosolutions for planetary health
Innovative planetary health biosolutions improve the health of our planet.
They reduce energy, chemical and water usage, help get more output from fewer raw materials and reduce waste in agriculture and across a wide range of industries.
Working closely with you, we find biosolutions that can optimize your production and deliver products with new benefits and claims. All while helping to meet the needs of your customers, consumers and our planet.
Agents of change
Enzymes, functional proteins and microorganisms are our planet’s tiniest yet mightiest agents of change. We harness their power to create what we call biosolutions. These solutions rooted in biology are key to addressing many of the challenges our world faces. They’re transforming production, consumption and how we all live.
Our purpose
points the way
In Novonesis, we know that solutions rooted in biology can help solve humanity’s biggest challenges. Since we began more than a century ago, this has been our guide. It’s how we've gotten so far. And it’s how we'll impact the future. Now, more than ever, the world needs change. And with biosolutions, the possibilities for transformation are endless.
We're here to better our world with biology.
Our story
