SuperGround Secures €2.5M Seed Investment to Scale Sustainable Blue Food Innovation

‍FINLAND, March5, 2025 — SuperGround, a pioneering Finnish company transforming undervalued fish side streams and chicken bones into high-quality, sustainable food products, today announced the successful closing of a €2.5M investment. The funding round was led by the Blue Revolution Fund (BRF), a leading investor in sustainable blue food.

SuperGround’s novel food processing technology enables the full utilization of fish and poultry side streams, creating nutritious products that can be directly consumed or incorporated into fish balls, pastes, patties, fingers, chicken nuggets, and other processed foods. By valorizing by-products, reducing food waste and enhancing resource efficiency, the company contributes to a more sustainable future in food production.

“We are thrilled to have the support ofHatch Blue’s Blue Revolution Fund, whose strategic investment will be instrumental as we move from innovation to commercialization. This partnership not only validates the potential of our technology but also accelerates our vision to become a leading global innovator in upcycled protein-based consumer products. With BRF backing, we’re poised to bring our solutions to market and create meaningful change in the food and fish industry,” said Jaakko Kaminen, CEO of SuperGround.

The €2.5M investment will facilitateSuperGround’s transition from pilot operations to full-scale commercial production. Additionally, the funding will support efforts to secure commercial partnerships, integrating SuperGround’s innovative technology into the fish and poultry markets.

“If the world will in fact run into a shortage of low-cost fish and livestock-based protein, which will depend heavily on how governments are going to subsidize mass animal production in the future and how vegetarian/vegan/cell based alternatives will catch up, thenSuperGround’s technology is perfectly placed to become a global standard in fish & livestock downstream processing.” said Carsten Krome, Managing Partner at Hatch Blue.
