TAES is a young venture approaching its first year, built on a 15-year research legacy in microalgae biotechnology; with a zero-waste, circular biorefinery approach, it aims to develop products, solutions, and collaborations across agriculture, industry, food, biomaterials, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biophilic architecture.
Who we are

Empowering innovation through the science of microalgae.
-
To translate microalgae and cyanobacteria science into scalable products and solutions through a zero-waste, circular biorefinery approach, delivering safe and regulation-ready innovations for agriculture, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and biophilic architecture.
-
To bring a 15-year research legacy to industrial scale, developing high-value microalgae-based products via integrated processes that target carbon-negative impact.
-
To build a science-to-market bridge, delivering microalgae solutions that prioritize quality, safety, and sustainability from culture to product.
Mision
-
To become the reference biorefinery turning nature’s microscale into industry-scale solutions, coupling science with scalable engineering and delivering measurable carbon-negative impact across agriculture, food, biomaterials, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biophilic architecture.
-
To lead microalgae applications in Türkiye and the region by building a regulation-ready supply chain and fostering academia–industry technology transfer.
-
To set new standards with a carbon-negative value chain valorizing side-streams, tracking cradle-to-gate metrics, and publishing open data.
Vision
Our Story
About fifteen years ago, our curiosity for microalgae grew from small bench experiments into a journey that reached pilot-scale field trials. Working with strains from Antarctic and local ecosystems, we optimized cultures, built photobioreactors, and established a robust analytical backbone that informs every decision we make.
This body of work has matured in recent years into a product-focused biorefinery approach. We design scalable processes for natural UV protectants, phycobiliproteins, EPS-based hydrogels, and microalgae-derived biostimulants, and we continue optimization without pause. Our separation and purification streams are defined, while stability, safety, and regulatory testing are embedded as non-negotiable steps in our roadmap.
Today, as a young venture approaching its first year, we are building a bridge that carries science to market. With a zero-waste, circular value chain, we aim for carbon-negative impact; and we pursue trusted product families and open collaborations across agriculture, industry, food, biomaterials, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biophilic architecture.
