Description and specific excellence
TECNOFOREST was created in January 2011 as an academic spin-off as a result of the wishes of the three founding members: Professor Ferruccio Pittaluga, Dr. Eng. Emanuela Manzino, and Dr. Eng. Mauro Toso. The company specializes in:
•Territorial recovery
•Forestation characterized by rapid growth
•High-energy value biomass
•System and Energy consultancy
The integration of the various functions proposed by the company is intended to address the current condition of highly precarious development in the Mediterranean hinterland, particularly in Liguria. The introduction of an innovative, systematic strategy follows the Company objective of rendering potential investments on the territory profitable.
Tecnoforest has a presence at Mediterranean level as a partner of RMEI, Mediterranea Network of Engineering Faculties (www.rmei.info). In this role Tecnoforest has participated in various workshops with south Mediterranean partners (Libya, Morocco, Tunisia) with regard to territorial recovery, energy projects of semi-desert zones and the introduction of oil-producing trees.
