## About

Based in Singapore and founded in 2018, Insectta Pte. Ltd. operates as a black soldier fly biotech company focused on the extraction of valuable biomaterials from insects. Chua Kai-Ning is the co-founder of the company. In May 2020, Insectta Pte. Ltd. raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding led by new investor Trendlines Group.

The company produces chitosan, protein, and probiotics through a biorefinery process for the agri-food, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries. Insectta takes food waste and returns it into the economy as a valuable biomaterial. Its products include dried black soldier fly larvae, organic fertilizer, live black soldier fly larvae, Insectta seed starter kits, and black soldier fly eggs.

The company is planning to expand the industrial applications for its high-grade chitosan to wound healing, filaments for organic 3-D-printing, and drug delivery agents.
