Avecom

Avecom is a Belgian environmental and industrial biotechnology company that develops and commercializes microbial process solutions for environmental remediation and biomass fermentation. The company specializes in biodegradation, biosynthesis, and engineering mixed microbial consortia to treat contaminated soil, water, and air, and to convert industrial side streams into biobased products. Its biomass fermentation activities include production-process development for single-cell proteins, biopolymers, and organic fertilizers, supported by lab, pilot, and small-scale manufacturing capabilities. Avecom originated as a spin-out from Ghent University and operates as an active private SME serving industrial partners through R&D, scale-up, and commercial services. While it operates in biotechnology, it is primarily focused on environmental and industrial applications rather than human therapeutics or healthcare products.
