We promote blue biotechnology through experimental development and applied research of new marine microalgae production and processing technologies, on pilot and industrial scale (demonstrative projects) with application in the Canary food, cosmetics, agriculture and environmental industries.
Everything with a view to transferring said knowledge to the Canary business sector. In this line we are taking part in the BIOASIS platform to incentivate the blue biotechnology industry and in particular marine vegetable aquaculture, as a specialisation area for the growth of Blue Economy, together with the Spanish Algae Bank of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the ECOAGUA University Institute and the Sociedad de Promoción Económica de Gran Canaria (SPEGC).
We render support services for young pre- and post-doctorate researchers linked to research and economic activities related to the exploitation of insular marine resources.
