Pitch Sofie Allert (Swedish Algae Factory) at the final (2019)

In dark and cold seas diatoms - algae that develop a shell with unique properties to survive in this dark environment - grow. The material is naturally designed to absorb light efficiently and can be used to make solar panels more efficient. The material also has a moisturising and cleansing effect, so that it can also be used as a natural ingredient for care products. Sofie Allert is the CEO and founder of Swedish Algae Factory: the only company in the world that grows these algae on a large scale.
