Entomotech is a new company born to offer entomological services. We are the first enterprise to offer such integrated entomological services in Europe.
Our vision is to apply entomology to a wide range of industrial sectors. Insects have not been considered as an important tool to be used in the industry, but we have the conviction that exploring insects, as well as mites, we will be able to give a new approach to present and future markets challenges.
Entomotech is focusing on mites and insects because of their huge production capacity. There are now more demands on technology for sustainability in goods production. We are convinced that through entomology can answer these demands.
The tools and procedures based on entomology show great potential. Different industries can converge with the use of entomology for industrial purposes such as bio-medicine (larva therapy), pharmaceutical industry (recombinant proteins and antibiotics), food industry (insects as source of animal protein), cosmetics industry (active ingredients), energetic industry (biodiesel production), agro-chemistry industry (new more selective insecticides), and agro- industry (insects and mites for biological pest control).
The objective of Entomotech is to provide to the industry the biotechnological tools to be part of the productive process, or be the end product. We have designed services in order to explore the industrial application of insects such as consultancies, technology transfer, and research & development. We invest a big portion of our resources to the development of new technologies which are more sustainable, economically feasible, and diversified.
