Ingmar Høgøyi

Greentech Innovators is a Norwegian biotechnology company founded and led by Ingmar Høgøyi as its chief executive, dedicated to converting food and organic waste into valuable products. Confronting the challenge that billions of tonnes of food waste are discarded worldwide each year, the company has been named Sustainable Biowaste Solutions Advisory Firm of the Year in Norway at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, a recognition of its contribution to the circular economy.

At the heart of the business lies an enzyme-based biotechnology that transforms discarded food into a high-quality growth medium. The company reports that it has succeeded in converting as much as eighty per cent of the carbohydrates contained in food waste into this medium, which is then used to cultivate microbes such as microalgae, bacteria and fungi. From these cultures it produces sustainable sources of protein and omega-3 — turning what would otherwise be an environmental liability into a genuine resource.

The applications of this technology reach across several important markets. The outputs serve the fish and seafood feed sector, pet food, and livestock feed, as well as fertiliser and bio-polymer production. In aquaculture and animal nutrition in particular, sustainable and locally produced sources of protein and omega-3 are in growing demand, and Greentech Innovators' approach offers an alternative to conventional inputs whose supply and environmental footprint are increasingly under scrutiny.

The company operates internationally, with a base in Norway at Blomsterdalen and a presence in the United States at Boca Raton, Florida. This transatlantic footprint reflects both the global nature of the food waste problem and the international interest in the kind of biotechnology-driven solution the company has developed. Its participation in international industry events underlines a strategy of engaging with markets and partners well beyond Norway.

Under the leadership of founder and chief executive Ingmar Høgøyi, Greentech Innovators combines scientific innovation with a clear commercial purpose: to build value from waste while reducing the environmental harm it causes. This dual focus on sustainability and viable products is central to the advisory and solutions role recognised by the award.

Recognition as Sustainable Biowaste Solutions Advisory Firm of the Year in Norway at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 highlights the distinctive position Greentech Innovators has carved out at the meeting point of biotechnology, sustainability and the circular economy, and the ambition of a company working to turn a pressing global problem into an opportunity.
