We’re making waves! 🌊🚀 Huge thanks to FoodBev Media for naming Hailia their Start-up of the Month! 🎉🐟 We started with a simple idea: what if filleting sidestreams and small pelagic fish could be turned into delicious, high-value seafood products instead of being wasted? Turns out, that idea has some serious fins. 🐠💡 With a splash of innovation, we’re on a mission to transform seafood processing, making every bit of the fish count. No waste, just great taste! Check out the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8mzhKfd #BlueFoodRevolution #SeafoodInnovation #MakingWaves

⭐ 2024: What a FINTASTIC year! ⭐   As we swim toward the end of 2024, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what a fintastic year it’s been for Hailia. It’s been a journey full of waves - some smooth, some challenging - but all of them have pushed us forward.   🎉 What we’re celebrating: This year, we achieved some incredible milestones. First, in September we successfully launched our Pulled Rainbow Trout product in collaboration with our partner Kalavapriikki Oy. From project kick-off to market launch in less than a year, the product is now available nationwide in all S-ryhmä / S Group stores - a huge accomplishment for everyone involved! Next, we introduced Pulled Salmon to the market in collaboration with our partner Hätälä Oy, targeting food service, HoReCa, and food industry customers. This partnership marked another big step forward. ✨ And, of course, sealing our very first licensing deal was a truly defining moment - what an achievement!   None of this would have been possible without our amazing team. A heartfelt thank-you to each and every one of you. 💙 As cherry on top: 🏆 Award-Winning Innovations: We won FoodBev Media’s World Food Innovation Award for Best Technology Innovation. On top of that, we took home the Best Business Award in the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)’s global food technology competition, which recognized our potential to address some of the biggest challenges in the global food system. 🎤 Sharing Our Mission on Global Stages: In July, we spoke at the Sustainable Foods Summit in Amsterdam, sharing Hailia’s mission to revolutionize seafood and make a meaningful impact. In September, we headed to Reykjavik for the 5th Fish Waste for Profit Conference, where we presented on how Hailia is transforming seafood sidestreams into delicious, sustainable food products using innovative upcycling technology. 📰 Making Waves in the Media: We also got fantastic visibility! Our opinion piece in Fiskeribladet highlighted how seafood byproducts can transform challenges into profits for an industry under pressure. Link in comments. And yes, we made it to Forbes! Forbes! 🎉 Link to article in comments.   🔎 🗺️ Looking ahead: We know exactly where we’re headed - full speed ahead! Our mission is clear: getting our technology and products into the hands of as many people as possible. 🚀 2025 is already shaping up to be an exciting year. We’ve got new partnerships and licensing deals cooking. But that’s not all - there are some exciting new products in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to roll them out to our customers. A big thank-you to all our customers, partners, stakeholders and team members - you’ve helped us navigate the tides and keep swimming forward. Here’s to another year of making waves together!   Wishing you all a FINtastic New Year and plenty of opportunities to sea the possibilities! 🌊 #enablingbluefoodrevolution #seafood #foodtech #sustainableseafood

🎉 Big news! Hailia has landed its first technology licensing deal! 🐟 Wow! We’re really proud to share a major milestone in our mission to transform the seafood industry! Kalavapriikki Oy is leading the way in sustainable fish processing, proving themselves as pioneers in the field. After a year of collaboration—and just three months since we launched our first product together—they’re taking the leap to integrate our fish sidestream technology into their Kuopio facility. This means they’ll have the same cutting-edge system we use in our own factory, marking the first time Hailia’s innovation goes beyond our walls. It’s an exciting step forward and a testament to just how forward-thinking Kalavapriikki is as a company! 🐟🌍 💬 Kalavapriikki’s CEO, Jari Korhonen says: “Our goal has always been to create sustainable food from Finnish fish. With Hailia’s technology, we’re raising the bar, doubling production, and setting a new standard for responsible seafood production.” We couldn’t agree more. This isn’t just about tech—it’s about proving that sustainability and profitability can be best friends. And hey, we’re just getting started. If you’re a forward-thinking fish processor ready to up your game, give us a shout. Let’s put those fins and frames to work. 🛠️🐟 Press release in comments. #sustainability #bluefoodrevolution #circulareconomy

🏆 Hailia Victorious at UNIDO Global Call 2024! 🏆 We have been awarded at the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)’s Global Call 2024 competition for food technology! The competition sought innovations capable of addressing the biggest challenges in the global food system, with evaluation criteria including innovativeness, sustainability impact potential, and business model feasibility. From the beginning, we felt this had Hailia written all over it – and the jury agreed!   We received the Business Award for our exceptional growth potential, distinctly developed technology, and robust business model. Together, these factors enable the scalability of our impact across the various Sustainable Development Goals that the UNIDO jury emphasized.   CEO Michaela Lindström and CTO Otto Kaukonen are currently in Seoul, Korea, to receive this prestigious recognition and engage with local seafood industry members. With this recognition in hand, it’s easier than ever to discuss the opportunities for global impact that we can achieve together with our future partners.

“These 12 Finnish companies have the potential to revolutionize global food production”, lists Tekniikka&Talous. We’re thrilled to be included! It’s especially gratifying to see the article highlight the world-class quality of Finland’s foodtech expertise. Together, we can make a significant impact on the global food system. Well done, fellow Finns! 🇫🇮 🌎 🍽️

We transform sidestreams into mainstream food products. We turn waste into profit.   Beautiful in its simplicity, don't you think? #BlueFoodRevolution #BlueEconomy #SeafoodIndustry #FishIndustry #FoodTech

It’s been quite the few weeks for Hailia, with two announced partnerships with Kalavapriikki Oy and Hätälä Oy, a feature in Forbes, and attending seafood industry events in Reykjavik and Madrid. Our CEO Michaela reflects on the recent whirlwind in her latest post, which includes some true gems 💎:   "What really stood out to me is how vital partnerships are. Achieving circularity isn’t something we can do in silos—collaboration between researchers, industry leaders, start-ups, decision-makers, and others is key to making meaningful progress. 🤝 "   This indeed is a major part of Hailia’s story. No company can introduce and reinforce novel practices within the industry by pushing alone. Instead, strong collaborations with shared ambitions – and mutual benefits – are essential. And when these collaborations succeed, the impact will be immense. What can we achieve together?

Forbes! We’re on Forbes! 🤩 Our circular concept of turning fish processing sidestreams into high-value food products is gaining serious traction, not just within the international seafood industry but also in the media! The article highlights our circular concept as a potential solution to meet the growing demand for seafood without placing additional pressure on the environment. The newly signed partnership with Hätälä Oy is a great example of how this is being put into practice generating all that impact already – and increasing fish processors’ profitability too. Our CEO Michaela also sheds light on how our tech solution can be integrated into existing seafood production facilities, providing an easy, turnkey solution for fish processors: “Fish processors are finally given the tools to upcycle sidestreams into food in their own factories. This expands their core business and product portfolio with more affordable and convenient food product concepts. #BlueFoodRevolution #BlueEconomy #SeafoodIndustry #FishIndustry #FoodTech

We’re setting sail with Hätälä! 🌊🌬️⛵ We’re very happy to announce our exciting partnership with Finnish fish processor Hätälä Oy! Thanks to this collaboration, new innovative products made from Atlantic salmon sidestreams, are now reaching professional kitchens and food industry markets both in Finland and abroad. 🌍✨    We couldn’t be more excited to team up with such a well-established and trusted industry leader as Hätälä. In addition to being one of the market leaders in Finland, Hätälä has a strong presence in Europe. We appreciate Hätälä for being one of the forerunners in discovering the opportunities of circular practices utilising the sidestreams of Norwegian salmon. Together, we’re taking our products to new heights!   This is just the beginning—one big milestone achieved. There are many more to come as we work toward our goal of becoming a global standard for sidestream processing. Let’s keep ticking those boxes! ✅✨ Press releases in English and Finnish are available in the comments. #BlueFoodRevolution #BlueEconomy #SeafoodIndustry #FishIndustry #FoodTech
