Qponics is an agricultural-biotechnology company operating in the food and beverage sector based in Brisbane Australia. We are focused on the semi-rural and urban production of high-quality organic omega-3 oils from the cultivation of algae integrated into a sustainable combined aquaculture-horticulture process.
Qponics Limited (Public - ASSOB:QPO) was founded as a private company in 2009 by Mr Geoff Wilson and Dr Graeme Barnett and presently operates out of the Start Innovation Centre, at the Brisbane Technology Park, Brisbane, Australia. In January 2011, Qponics became a public unlisted Australian company incorporated in the state of Queensland, as the Company prepared to gain admission onto the Australian Small Scale Offerings Board.
The Company’s business philosophy is centred on the concept of ethical, organic and sustainable production from algae of high quality omega-3 oils in urban and semi-rural settings to ensure proximity to markets and distribution channels. Our aim is to operate algal photo-bioreactors integrated into an ecologically balanced aquaculture-horticulture system for the production of omega-3 oils to ensure that operations eliminate environmental pollution and minimise carbon emissions and water consumption.
