The Team Grounded in Science,
Seaweed and Agriculture

Kelpinor's vision is to enable the regenerature future. This means giving more back to nature, than what one are cultivating and harvesting from it.

Our philosophy is simple:  plants know better than humans what they need - and when they need it. Rather than forcing growth through inputs, we focus on supporting the plant’s own natural processes. Our work is therefore centered on making the valuable bioactive compounds found in seaweeds, accessible and usable for plants, without overwhelming or interfering with their biology.

Kelpinor combines international biological expertise, engineering, seaweed processing knowledge, and agricultural insight to develop reliable seaweed-based biostimulants for your crops.
