Personal profile
ShortBio
Pablo graduated with honors in Pharmacy from the University of the Basque Country (Spain, 2012), where he also obtained a master's degree in Industrial and Synthetic Chemistry (2013). He obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) in 2017. Subsequently he moved to VITO (Flemish Institute of Technological Research), first as a post-doc and later as a researcher. There he helped building the biopolymer development team and he was responsible for setting up VITO’s satellite lab in the Green Chemistry Campus (the Netherlands). In 2020 he joined Tecnalia as project manager. Besides managing projects in the areas of bio-based products and materials, chemical recycling of plastics and CO2 capture and use, he was responsible for the research line on CO2 use for polymers and chemicals. In 2023 he obtained an MBA from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. That year he was also elected for the Board of Directors of CO2 Value Europe, an industrial association to promote the capture and use of CO2. He is (co)author of conference communications, papers (26), and patents (6). Since 2025 is Venture Builder at Tecnalia, working in the creation of Deep Tech start-ups.
