Innovation

To innovate means changing things by introducing new solutions. We work on the principle that every person in the team contributes something unique to each project through their creativity and developing new productive ideas.

We produce innovative solutions and drive progress with respect to the future of woodlands. We encourage creativity in order to generate cutting edge approaches and share them, both within and beyond our team.

In recent years our R&D activity has intensified as a result of our participation in national and international projects and the team has expanded to include professionals specialised in the forestry application of remote sensing and new technologies. Thanks to this effort the Ministry of Economy has awarded us with “Sello PYME innovadora”.

In this way, we are able to explore emerging technologies and their application in new products and services, as well as to transfer this knowledge to our existing working lines such as the management, conservation and mobilisation of forestry resources.

R&D team and network

The R&D team, which comprises 7 PhD graduates, 3 PhD students and 2 engineers who are all specialists in different areas, exemplifies the cutting edge nature of our research and development.

With our open perspective on innovation, we work in collaboration with other forestry investigation bodies and professionals. We believe in sharing innovation within networks, sharing ideas and initiatives both within and outside Spain. We invest in expanding our reliable network, cooperating with experts from businesses, public administrations, universities and technology centres.
