HI-Q

Hi-Q Marine Biotech is a Taiwan-based marine biotechnology and consumer health company founded in 1998 that develops and commercializes seaweed-derived health products, especially low molecular weight fucoidan ingredients and branded supplements. The company originated in aquaculture and ecological recirculating aquaculture systems, then expanded into human health, skincare, pet health, and functional food applications. Its core differentiator is an extraction and bioprocessing capability for Oligo Fucoidan sourced from brown seaweed, which it markets under the Hi-Q brand and related ingredient branding. Hi-Q appears to operate as a revenue-generating commercial-stage company rather than a drug-development biotech, with products sold through its own channels and B2B ingredient supply. The business is healthcare-adjacent and life-science relevant, but its portfolio is centered on nutraceutical, wellness, and personal care products rather than regulated prescription therapeutics.
