Tilamur, Aquaponics in Murcia

Established in 2013, TILAMUR is a fast-growing Small-Medium-Enterprise, based in the Spanish Mediterranean coast with a proprietary technology in the aquaponics domain, created with the mission of developing a sustainable and profitable aquaculture production model to offer EU consumers, healthy and reliable products with high quality and traceability, as we believe that these are traits of great importance to ensure consumer’s integrity. We have always being committed to innovation and we aim to position in the market as a high tech producer of sustainable food. BACKGROUND - INAPRO “Innovative Aquaponics for Professional Application”: Since 2014, we have collaborated as a partner in such project, which main goal was to improve the current approaches to rural and urban aquaponics to respond to the global challenge of food security by producing local, healthy and sustainable food with a low water and carbon footprint. - COST Actions (European Cooperation in Science & Technology): Since 2014 we took part in the EU Aquaponics Hub in a COST networking actions that unites a heterogeneous group of scientists, researchers and SMEs from across the EU and around the globe to better understand the state of knowledge in aquaponics in Europe and around the world. - EASY “Eco-Aquaponics-System”: In 2015, Tilamur was funded under the “H2020 – Mainstreaming SME support, especially through a dedicated instrument” and “H2020- Societal Challenges: Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine, maritime and inland water research, and the bioeconomy” schemes, for the conception of the EASY project to develop an organic aquaculture feed formula that completely excludes fishmeal and fish oil from its composition, and lowers the production costs of our fish by 40%, validating the feasibility of our idea. - AULA DEL MAR “Proyecto Emplea Verde”: Currently, we are working together with the Foundation “Aula del Mar” for training activities in the field of aquaponics.
