NATUR-EXT Project

 The rich biodiversity of the Macaronesia region is known. However, its economic, scientific and industrial use is limited by the lack of technical-scientific support that allows its viability and use, promoting the disuse of the region's rich native resources, which have not found a way to overcome this problem.
NATUR-EXT was born to solve this problem by creating a bio-industrial platform to transform biological raw materials. This industrial need requires the option of biotechnological solutions that allow us to offer sustainable and respectful growth models, all of this within a circular economy framework that promotes the development of value chains in favour of optimal waste management, resolution of environmental problems, recovery and use of land, all using EERR generation systems for self-consumption, forming a closed and sustainable cycle. The platform will cover the various stages that make a product viable, from its research on an experimental scale to its scaling and transfer to industry.
This objective requires showing the business sector the potential and need to move from a linear economy to a circular economy, involving training tasks. This training will be extended to third countries, allowing the advancement of a sector beyond Macaronesia's borders.
