MAAVi

The largest Research Center for biopesticides, probiotics and biostimulants in Europe.

Change is Here

The challenge of replacing synthetic chemistry without losing productivity and yield pushes our model to the limits and demand us to create a cutting-edge technology center to lead this new era of biotechnology.
We Are Unique

We Are Unique

4 natural areas and 4 corresponding laboratories: botany, microbiology, microalgae, and green chemistry. the synergies among these 4 natural areas constitute the heart of a center with over 5000 m2 of infrastructure and over 2000 m2 of greenhouses.
Great Team

Great Team

Small ideas can be the seed for major disruptions. A team of over 60 researchers with the largest collaborative network of research centers, such as the CSIC, numerous reputed research groups of national and international universities, public and private organizations in the biotechnology sector, industry-leading agri-food companies and other multinational manufacturers.
Cutting-Edge Technology
