Pushing the boundaries of risk mitigation

We believe in leveraging science and technology for the greater good. Our mission is to make the world a more resilient place under a changing climate.

Mitiga started as a spin-off from the National Supercomputing Center in Spain, which hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe. From there, we set out to brige the gap between boundary-pushing science and forward-looking businesses.

How do we do it

We help customers in 20 countries build resilience to climate risk.

“Through machine learning, we can transfer data from data-rich countries to
data-scarce ones. Our methodology allows us to fill in the data gaps for every hazard we cover, and AI is allowing us to have that global footprint”

Alejandro Marti, CEO and co-founder

Meet our founders

Dr. Alejandro Martí
Chief Executive Officer

Alex has over 15 years of international experience in developing and maintaining key relationships with industry, academics, and public sector representatives. His professional experience in the US Government, NASA, UK Meteorological Office or Repsol encompasses a transversal scientific, innovative, and business development in technology for climate change adaptation and natural hazards. He leads the synergies between Mitiga and the Natural and Social Hazards group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre.

Dr. Mauricio Hanzich
Chief Technology Officer

Mauricio has led the “Software Development” group at the Computer Applications in Science and Engineering Department from the National Supercomputing Centre in Spain for over 10 years. He is focused on software development for the industry. He has broad experience in the development of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and complex software for the whole stack, from the hardware considerations to the application level.
