Porifarma has initiated sponge aquaculture activities in the East Mediterranean (Turkey). In 2007, Jasper de Goeij joined the company as the new CEO. Based upon the recent work of Dr De Goeij on sponge cell kinetics, Porifarma has started to develop a novel technique for the production of sponge materials.
