Founded in France, Olmix has 650 employees, generates US$175 million in annual revenues and operates eight industrial plants, including a biorefinery specialized in algae processing.

Yes Sinergy Agroindustrial is a Brazilian biotech company active on the national market and in approximately 40 countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia. The company focuses on developing and commercializing value-added animal feed additives, with the ambition of improving food safety and animal welfare while promoting sustainable development. Yes Sinergy’s portfolio includes natural antibiotic-free products based on sugar cane yeasts and organic chelated materials. Yes Sinergy serves all livestock species (ruminants, swine, poultry and aquatic organisms), as well as pets.

Aqua Capital is a Latin American private equity firm that manages investments in innovating, sustainable businesses across the agribusiness and food value chain.
