HÅVA was founded through the collaboration of passionate entrepreneurs and researchers dedicated to revolutionizing seafood production sustainably and addressing the circular economy. By harnessing the power of natural microorganisms, we produce delicious shrimp of sashimi quality. With our unique blend of microorganisms, technology, and entrepreneurial spirit, HÅVA is proud to lead the way in sustainable aquaculture, shaping a brighter future for our oceans and communities!
HÅVA has evolved from an ambitious research initiative into an impact company merging science, innovation, and sustainability, effectively redefining the seafood landscape. Matilda Olstorpe, a visionary Associate Professor in Microbiology, recognized the critical environmental challenges posed by traditional shrimp farming, such as antibiotic overuse and ecosystem degradation. With her expertise in biofloc technology, she and her committed team devised an innovative circular farming system that sets a new standard.
What truly sets HÅVA apart is our commitment to challenging the status quo. By implementing closed farming systems that utilize marine water, we significantly reduce our dependence on freshwater and actively conserve our invaluable natural resources. By integrating waste heat from local industries and state-of-the-art microbiological processes, we take pride in producing sustainable and delicious vannamei shrimp that consistently meet and exceed the highest standards of taste and quality. Join us as we lead the way toward a more sustainable future!
