Seaweed technology partners — and what each one does with Sirputis
Sirputis builds seaweed technology with a network of farms, research institutes and fabricators in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Lithuania. A logo is wallpaper; a role is proof — each seaweed technology partner below is listed with its role and, where we built or tested something together, what that was.
Farms give us the operating feedback that shapes every harvester and seeder; research institutes validate processes and co-run EU projects such as Horizon Europe SeaMark; fabrication and programme partners build the machines and deliver funded projects such as the Inopažanga stabilisation system. Together they let us deliver from seeding to finished processing lines.
