Startups
Happy Ocean Foods is one of the leading foodtech startups in the space of plant-based shellfish, focusing on utilizing algae and protein to develop sustainable seafood alternatives. We love nature and are passionate about a healthy lifestyle and really good food. We believe that every single one of us is able to make a difference in this world. If we change something in our behavior, this will automatically affect our immediate environment and make big waves. This is why we want to inspire people to rethink their eating habits, to ensure the nature we have will thrive and the health of all of us will be protected. In order to restore the ecological balance in the oceans, Happy Ocean Foods develops tasty, healthy and sustainable plant-based seafood. The first product is our plant-based Shrymp, which looks, feels and tastes similarly to a real shrimp and is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
