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 bridge 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. Prior to Mitiga Solutions, he worked for the US Government, NASA, the UK Meteorological Office and Repsol. His transversal experience lies in using technology for climate change adaptation and natural hazard prevention. He is the chairman of the UN-ITU Focus Group on AI for Natural Hazards.

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 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.

Impact & ESG

Our mission is to build climate resilience, defined as the ability to anticipate, adapt, and recover from climate extremes and long-term changes.

While our products are impact-driven, we focus specifically on how our company intentionally and deliberately contributes to climate resilience. We combine this with our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, ensuring that how we operate aligns with our values.

We have developed an Impact Strategy, which articulates our path to become the most trusted provider of climate resilience technology, empowering users to manage and adapt to climate risks across various regions and timeframes, using the following metrics:

Environment

Number of assets assessed for climate risk and clients using EarthScan.

Protection gap

People covered by humanitarian bonds or parametric insurance.

Risk modeling

Regions indirectly covered by physics-based models.

Low/middle-income countries

Number of countries with improved access to risk models and climate tech.

We also developed a Conviction-led ESG Plan focusing on themes that resonate with our beliefs. Instead of standard ESG metrics, we prioritize meaningful actions guided by internal volunteer teams who help shape our company culture and values, with the following themes in 2024.

Environment

Walking the talk. As a climate tech company, we track our own carbon footprint and contribute through data philanthropy.

Social

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) matters.  We promote DEI, focusing on helping our team understand and champion these values.

Governance

In evidence we trust. In 2024, we emphasize knowledge and evidence, improving access to learning resources and creating an Advisory Board for strategic guidance.
