AmphiStar has developed a proprietary technology platform for the cost-efficient and ecological production of biosurfactants. We are a founders-led spin-off company established in July 2021 that is the result of 15 years joint development between Ghent University (Inbio.be) and the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant. We derisk the early development stage for biosurfactant production, guide and support technology transfer to industrial manufacturers and collaborate intensely for further development and improvement of the licensed technology. Our technology platform is initially based on the fermentative production with the yeast ''Starmerella bombicola'', producing many different biosurfactants at a high volumetric productivity. Our biosurfactants are made from sustainable, renewable feedstocks and waste streams. Microbial fermentation is a clean production technology that is safe for people and the environment. Our biosurfactants are environmentally friendly, palm oil-free, sulfate-free, mild, non-toxic and non-irritant.

Besides developing BluCon technology to commercial stage, BluCon Biotech GmbH serves as a platform to acquire further technologies in the field of applied biotechnology. With its core team, the company shows outstanding expertise in microbiology of extremophilic bacteria, in strain and process development and in project management. It is very well connected both in Germany and internationally.

Nature’s Principles started as an innovative PhD project at Delft University of Technology, in The Netherlands. The lab experiments proved great results using mixed culture fermentation, which used Principles of Nature to make the microorganisms satisfied and productive, as opposed to genetically engineering them in a lab. We are now running the pilot scale production and will be ready soon for commercial volumes. Nature’s Principles is ready to face the challenge of making bio-based chemicals viable and circular at the same time.

The next generation of future food with single cell protein such as micro-algae is a scalable and sustainable source of protein for human consumption. A Sophie’s Bionutrients, we grow micro-algae inside of bio-reactors. This process can be precisely controlled to produce protein in a matter of days. We use limited amount of water and local food waste to produce micro-algae protein within metropolitan areas in many parts of the globe. In addition we can generate whole-algae ingredients in a variety of food application in plant based meat and functional food.
