At Novonesis, we are leading the era of biosolutions. By leveraging the power of microbiology with science, we transform the way the world produces, consumes and lives.
Novonesis is divided into two divisions, supporting healthier lives and a healthier planet. We work closely with customers across more than 30 industries to create innovations that will take their business into the future. We pride ourselves on unmatched customer understanding and relations.
By 2050, we’ll need to feed two billion more people. At the same time, food producers face ever-changing consumer demands, a challenging economic climate and increased legislative requirements.
Our biosolutions help get more from less and make processes more sustainable and efficient. They enable great taste, texture and appearance with simpler, shorter labels.
They also extend shelf life, improve nutritional profiles and deliver novel health benefits. And they unlock new, more sustainable, protein sources.
People today want to be in control of their health at every life stage. And their needs are more complex and expectations higher than ever.
With our scientifically-researched and clinically-tested biosolutions for a stronger body and mind, they can navigate to better lifelong health.
Our portfolio is manufactured at scale in-house and includes prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, novel vitamins, proteins and many other biosolutions to help you meet people’s complex needs.
Innovative planetary health biosolutions improve the health of our planet.
They reduce energy, chemical and water usage, help get more output from fewer raw materials and reduce waste in agriculture and across a wide range of industries.
Working closely with you, we find biosolutions that can optimize your production and deliver products with new benefits and claims. All while helping to meet the needs of your customers, consumers and our planet.
We better our business by bettering our world
To better our world, we start with ourselves

For more than a century we’ve been copying, engineering and improving the power of biology to solve problems. And there's still so much untapped potential in biology.
It all starts with understanding the building blocks of nature. Leveraging microbes and enzymes, we harness these transformative agents of change to innovate sustainable biosolutions in sync with the mechanisms of nature. By doing this, we make a positive impact for our customers and help build a greener future for everyone.
Think about it: What if the answers to many of our challenges have been right in front of us all along? For billions of years, living organisms and ecosystems have developed genius, circular solutions. Thanks to progress in biology we are now able to understand and apply these genius solutions to the challenges we all face. Solutions rooted in biology can help solve humanity’s biggest challenges. For more than a century this has been our guide, our purpose. It got us here. And it’s how we'll impact the future. More than ever the world needs change. With biosolutions, the possibilities for transformation are endless.
In 2024, Chr. Hansen and Novozymes joined forces to form Novonesis.
We are 10,000 people worldwide whose expertise spans more than 30 different industries. All around the world our biosolutions already create value for thousands of customers and benefit the planet. Our biosolutions enable feeding and fueling the world more sustainably, from healthy and sustainable nutrition to biofuel. Our biosolutions also reduce the use of fossil-based resources, chemicals, energy and water. And this is just the beginning.
We have subsidiaries all over the world

We take a clear stance on the issues that matter to you and society at large.
We believe that proactive and transparent corporate governance structure promotes responsible business conduct and long-term value creation.
Biosolutions are fascinating but can be difficult to grasp. That's why we created the monthly Biosolutions Bulletin — to break down the science into easy-to-understand, engaging stories with beautiful hand-drawn illustrations.
Each issue dives deep into the science behind biosolutions and their roles in transforming everything from agriculture to industries and the products we use every day.
