Discover PurpleTech

Purple bacteria naturally produce a unique combination of health-supporting nutrients. They contain antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10, beneficial monounsaturated fatty acids, and high-quality protein with a balanced amino acid profile, along with vitamin B12.

At PurpleTech, we believe the future of sustainable nutrition may come from an unexpected source: purple bacteria.

These remarkable microorganisms can transform simple resources into high-value nutrients and bioactive compounds, including antioxidants such as Coenzyme Q10, beneficial fatty acids, vitamin B12, and high-quality protein with a balanced amino acid profile.

Born as a spin-off from the University of Mons, PurpleTech builds on years of research in microbiology and proteomics, including work connected to the European Space Agency’s MELiSSA program, which studies microbial ecosystems for efficient resource recycling.

Our mission is to harness the metabolic power of purple bacteria through science-driven biotechnology, creating a new generation of sustainable, nutrient-dense super-ingredients.

By combining advanced microbiology with scalable cultivation technologies, PurpleTech aims to transform these microorganisms into powerful solutions for the future of nutrition, health, and sustainable biotechnology.
