Keel Labs™ began in 2017 as AlgiKnit, creating ocean-focused materials built from renewable resources. In 2022, Keel Labs was established as a platform for innovation, broadening our vision for the potential of the ocean to accelerate our planet’s development towards a more sustainable future. Driven by the exploration of novel resources from the ocean, Keel Labs™ functions as a hub for the next generation of climate-focused solutions derived from nature. So, though our name has changed, our mission remains the same: Keel Labs™ works at the nexus of design, science, and engineering to create impact-driven materials harnessing the power of the ocean.
