Kim has been involved with Seaweed starting in 2015 as a mentor to a founder in the ocean restoration industry. Shortly after the idea underwent some pivots, he became responsible for one of the first seaweed technology companies in Norway, Arctic Seaweed AS. Kim has built up Arctic Seaweed together with his team with a specific focus on combining technology and biology. He is on a mission to develop the missing pieces to scale the industry to a level where it is sustainable. Financially, technologically, and from an environmental perspective.  

Arctic Seaweed was established in 2016. The company has developed and tested an integrated and scalable solution for large-scale seaweed farming and production. The company is currently expanding its production capacity to meet increasing market demands for farmed seaweed while at the same enabling other companies to scale up their own production by providing access to the company's technology.
