The company Les Biotechnologies Océanova inc. announces today that it is changing its name to innoVactiv inc. The name change reflects the evolution of the active ingredients portfolio that the company commercializes worldwide.

"Our mission remains the same, focused on the development of active ingredients whose efficacy and safety have been scientifically demonstrated, but the former name suggested that our activities were solely confined to the field of marine biomasses. Our portfolio of 18 active ingredients is much more diversified, containing also ingredients originating from different sources like terrestrial plants, polysaccharides derived from fermentation process or synthetic peptides" says Mr. Patrice Dionne, Chief Executive Officer at innoVactiv inc.
