We are proud that for the second year in a row we have been selected for the 33-list – the list of Sweden’s hottest new tech companies, compiled by magazines Ny Teknik and Affärlsvärlden. The honour was presented during an event in Stockholm last Tuesday, with the participation of Industry and Innovation Minister, Mikael Damberg. Needless to say we treated everyone to algae crisps during the mingle!

Curious about what we are up to right now? In the new business segment ”8 till 5” of Sydsvenskan, you can find a great article on Simris Alg. Our algae disco videoclip, included!
Simris Alg has been certified according to the quality criteria of Swedish self-care trade association, Svensk Egenvård, for safe supplements, sports and weight loss products for consumers. The audit was conducted by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA).
We are very proud of the certification, as there are still only relatively few manufacturers of dietary supplements in Sweden, who have undergone this quality audit.
In the current issue of business magazine Veckans Affärer (23-24 2014) you can find a good interview of CEO Fredrika Gullfot. Fredrika talks about her background, what it is that makes algae so great, and how Simris Alg began. Of course, it was extra cool that we ended up on the cover!
Simris Alg is one of the “33-listan” awardees, the list of Sweden’s hottest technology companies, as announced annually by the newspapers Affärsvärlden and Ny Teknik. We are extremely honoured by this award, which we received at a ceremony held in Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm. As proud pioneers, we are particularly happy that more and more within both business and technology begin to realise what an important industry algae cultivation really is for the future.
