OUR PURPOSE
To harness the power of nature for a more sustainable world.
OUR STORY
Cuprina’s story begins with our Founder, Carl Baptista, who has a deep passion for Biotechnology and exploring biological means of solving some of the world’s challenges.
Although Carl began his career working in the pest control industry, he came to appreciate the opportunities insects can offer industries and quickly became a passionate advocate for insect conservation. While studying Applied Entomology, Carl learned of the medical applications of insects and particularly the benefits of maggot debridement therapy to treat chronic wounds. Convinced he could improve on the existing treatment methods, Cuprina Wound Care Solutions was born.
I was determined to create a product for Singapore that was both clinically effective and cost-efficient.

We know our insects and technologies have countless applications. So a key part of our growth strategy is diversifying our product portfolio and building multiple revenue streams across our capabilities.

​​Our journey began in 2019 with a focus on healthcare. We quickly gained market share and a loyal customer base for our medical products. We are now entering a new chapter, one focused on leveraging the full potential of our Lucilia cuprina blowflies that takes us into the agriculture and waste management industries. With one species at the centre, we have built business capabilities that share natural synergies and the ability to mobilise the power and potential of each other.
