Business Strategy Intern To Develop Protein Distribution Channels For Spirulina

This project is initiated to shift this company from having developed an advanced algae cultivation platform developed through research, into a commercial enterprise. To achieve this we need to build demand for the algae product (spirulina) within the market place. As we succeed in creating demand, this will trigger the release of funding to continue to scale operations to achieve economies of scale that will enable better product margins to be achieved and ensure that investment capital will receive its due return on investment as well as enabling consumer product costs to decrease and thereby facilitate increased demand.

Key project objectives include: Identification of key Canadian Food Processors and Distributors, Contacting these processors and distributors with the intent of negotiating forward contracts to supply protein for production of consumer foods for sale through multiple sales channels. Intern will also spend time getting acquainted with lab and algae production processes to provide backup support for these functions
