Bandung, Indonesia — The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran (FPIK Unpad), continues to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship among its students through the Student Entrepreneurship Development Program (P2MW) 2023. This year, two outstanding student startups — Biomic Padjadjaran and Lemfeed — have been selected to receive faculty support as part of their journey to scale sustainable business ideas that directly contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Biomic Padjadjaran

Supervised by Dr. Yuniar Mulyani, SP., M.Si, Biomic Padjadjaran is a biotechnology-driven startup focusing on the production of microalgae-based bioethanol (Chlorella sp.). Unlike conventional bioethanol derived from food crops, Biomic’s innovation ensures that renewable energy production does not interfere with the food supply chain.

A signature product, the Bioethanol Reed Diffuser, replaces conventional ethanol in room fragrances with a sustainable alternative. Biomic has also expanded its sales to both B2B and B2C markets through online platforms such as Instagram and Shopee.
