NOFIMA
Nofima AS, also known as the Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research, is one of Europe’s largest applied research institutes within the fields of fisheries, aquaculture and food research. The institute was established in 2008 and has approximately 400 employees and an annual turnover of around €60 million. The head office is located in Tromsø, with research activities in Alta, Bergen, Stavanger, Sunndalsøra, Tromsø and Ås. “Sustainable food for all” is Nofima’s vision.
Nofima has over decades performed extensive research and development work within the area of valorisation of marine biomass, especially low value side streams from marine food and feed industry and unused marine biomass with high value potential. We have participated in the development of high value products from fisheries side streams from the investigative research stage through to product launch. We work extensively within the field of bioconversion and hydrolysis, including all aspects of processing and characterisation. Nofima enables the use of side streams in new and innovative ways towards existing or new products by combining biotechnology, the right processes, demonstrating effect and ensuring market acceptance.
