Israeli company Qortein has raised $400,000 to develop multiple functional applications based on jellyfish biomass. The company aims to tap into this untapped renewable resource to promote consumer health and reduce the load on the ecosystem. The technology is based on Prof. Shachar Richter’s technology for biomass extraction and processing from the University of Tel Aviv. The company plans to source the jellyfish from local jellyfish blooms and partner with coastal industries to utilize passive catch. The company is currently in the development stages and expects the product to hit the market in late 2026.
