Driving Innovation, Ensuring Sustainability: Committed to Offering Groundbreaking Solutions for Environmental and Industrial Challenges

“Our mission is to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for environmental and industrial problems”

Our world

With the goal of making the world a better and healthier place, combined with a strong scientific background, Avecom is a true leader in its field. Our team specializes in biodegradation, biosynthesis, and engineering microbial consortia for sustainable and cost-efficient solutions in environmental remediation and biomass fermentation. We collaborate with industrial partners for research & development and scaling of innovative microbial processes that result in new biobased products and applications. 

An Urgent Need to Sustainable Practices

Professor Willy Verstraete is a highly respected environmental biotechnology and engineering expert from the University of Ghent in Belgium. 

Since 2014, Professor Verstraete has consistently ranked as one of the Highly Cited Researchers in his field. This is due to the fact that several of his papers are among the top 1% most cited papers within his area of expertise. In fact, when you look at the entirety of his scientific work, you’ll see that his h-index is an impressive 137, and the sum of his cited papers is more than 76,000.

Professor Verstraete played a key role in founding Avecom and shaping it into what it is today. Though he has since moved on from the company, his influence can still be seen in Avecom’s innovative and effective solutions in applied microbial ecology.
