Introduction to SPRINGBOARD®

Our technology extends the shelf life of insect larvae by two weeks, a critical advancement that overcomes a major barrier in the insect production for food and feed, pest control, and pollination.

Within our first year, we've landed our first commercial customer, establishing ongoing R&D contracts with potential buyers, and generating positive cash flow.

The company has innovative products in the pipeline, and have raised 2 million DKK in public grants and private equity.
