Founded in the Algarve, Portugal, in 1997, Necton is one of Europe’s oldest and largest producers of microalgae. With over two decades of expertise, we have built deep scientific, technological, and business knowledge across multiple sectors, including aquaculture, cosmetics, food, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and bioenergy.
 
In 2023, the strategic acquisition of Allmicroalgae significantly expanded our production capacity, allowing us to integrate diverse cultivation technologies, including open raceway ponds, closed tubular photobioreactors, and industrial fermenters for heterotrophic cultivation. This enables us to cultivate freshwater, marine, and hypersaline microalgae from a wide range of genera. Our highly specialized team has hands-on experience with around 30 different microalgae species, such as Nannochloropsis, Tisochrysis, Chlorella, and Spirulina, using tailor-made cultivation techniques to meet specific client and project needs.
 
Our dedication to R&D and continuous innovation is reflected in our involvement in over 30 national and European-funded projects. Through strong collaborations with universities, research centers, and industry partners, we remain at the forefront of Microalgae Biotechnology in Europe.
 
Beyond innovation, our commitment to customer success sets us apart. Our dedicated sales team offers expert guidance, ensuring each client receives the most suitable microalgae solutions. From technical support to flexible supply options, we prioritize exceptional service, long-term partnerships, and exceeding expectations.
