Nyoka

At Nyoka, we are creating light from the future. We engineer proteins to generate safe, sustainable, and stable light. Our mission is to replace all uses of chemiluminescence and expand the possibilities of light. The chemiluminescence industry generates over 250 million tonnes of carcinogenic waste every year, all housed in single-use plastic. We can replace all that with our non-toxic and biodegradable technology. We are developing applications ranging from commercial fishing, healthcare, aerospace, entertainment, and more.

Nyoka was founded in 2021 and is a cleantech startup powered by biotech. We are located in Vancouver and have a team of 16 across Canada that is growing quickly. We have inbound interest, repeat customers, and paid pilots with companies such as NASA, Stellantis, BBC, Stanford, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and more. Additionally, we are supported by the University of British Columbia, Creative Destruction Lab, Brickyard, IndieBio, and SOSV - one of the world’s leading venture capital firms.
