Knowledge for innovation
Knowledge for innovation
We want the knowledge we generate to be useful for society. If you work in the forestry, agricultural, business, foundations or NGOs sectors, we help you develop innovative solutions for sustainability, to reduce carbon emissions, mitigate climate change and conserve biodiversity. We use environmental change models and develop scenarios to understand and support decision-making processes.
CREAF is an ideal partner to co-create innovations in the environmental field. We have ideas and resources that can help you make your proposals a reality. With our knowledge and scientific evidence, we can ensure that your projects are more successful, incorporating international experiences into your most creative ideas.
This includes innovation in fire risk management, sustainable forest management and nature-based solutions. In the field of agriculture, we promote the use of biochar to improve soil health and regenerative agriculture to ensure food security. In addition, we explore the potential of carbon farming, which sequesters carbon through sustainable land management. In the urban area, we are committed to smart cities and green cities, protecting ecosystem services and people's health.
We also act as consultants on environmental issues, as we do with the Ship2B accelerator or the EADA business school. Contact our transfer manager for this type of strategic alliances.
