At AZTI, we turn scientific knowledge and applied research into solutions with real impact for the marine environment, food and health

We investigate the effects of climate change on the ocean, marine ecosystems and the activities that depend on them. We generate data, models and solutions to anticipate impacts, reduce risks and support adaptation strategies.

We generate scientific knowledge and develop technological solutions to support more sustainable, efficient and resilient fisheries and aquaculture. Our work focuses on the conservation of marine resources, the improvement of fishing and aquaculture activities, and the competitiveness of the sector within the blue economy.

We observe, model and forecast ocean and coastal dynamics to improve maritime safety, anticipate risks and support the sustainable management of coastal areas. We transform oceanographic data into useful information for public authorities, ports, maritime sectors and the scientific community.

We offer solutions for marine spatial planning and the sustainable management of ecosystem goods and services, partnering with the port industry, the offshore sector and public administrations in the transition towards a more resilient and sustainable blue economy.

We apply biotechnology to the development of innovative ingredients, processes and products for the food, health, aquaculture and environmental sectors. We work with microorganisms, enzymes, phages and biomolecules to create safer, more sustainable and more competitive solutions.

We develop solutions for a more efficient, circular and resilient food industry. Our work focuses on reducing water and energy consumption, valorising by-products, preventing food loss and waste, developing sustainable packaging and exploring new proteins.

We generate knowledge and solutions to ensure safe, authentic and traceable food. We help reduce risks, meet regulatory requirements and strengthen trust across the entire food value chain.

We investigate the relationship between food and health to develop more personalised, healthier and evidence-based nutritional solutions. We combine biotechnology, omics, artificial intelligence, biomarkers and clinical studies to support innovation in food, ingredients and health services.

We develop innovative, healthy and sustainable foods through advanced formulation, new ingredients and processing technologies. We support industry in creating products that respond to new demands in consumption, health, sustainability and competitiveness.

We analyse how consumer habits, preferences and decision-making are changing. We combine competitive intelligence, sensory analysis, neuromarketing, consumer studies and digital tools to anticipate trends and turn them into opportunities for innovation.
