Decameal

Decameal, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Denmark, is a pioneering company redefining the value of marine by-products. The company has developed innovative techniques to transform the by-catch of the harmful and invasive common shore crabs into sustainable protein supplements. Decameal's products feature a protein content ranging from 40% to 70%, with an optimal amino acid composition, catering to diverse feed sectors.

Led by biologists Happylan and Leander, who specialize in aquatic ecosystem management and ecology, Decameal has been in development since a 2020 bio-entrepreneurship course at AU. The company has garnered attention through its commitment to sustainability, resulting in soft funding from institutions like Innovationsfonden and Food & Bio Cluster Denmark.

Most recently, Decameal secured a grant investment of kr3.00M on 01 September 2025, highlighting its growth potential in the sustainable food and feed market. Investors should note the company's innovative edge and environmental focus as key differentiators in the industry.
