At Anopa, we believe that trust in product origin cannot be built without scientific proof. That’s why we are proud to announce that our company is among the finalists for the Alfred Sauvy Prize, an emblematic distinction that supports innovative projects rooted in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
An award that highlights innovation and the region
Created in 1999 by the network of Catalan Executives, the Alfred Sauvy Prize pays tribute to Alfred Sauvy, a brilliant demographer, director of INED, professor at the Collège de France, and inventor of the term Third World. This prestigious award annually recognizes a new, original, and innovative activity, with the ambition to support young businesses in the region and to promote their local economic and social impact.
The laureate receives financial support of €10,000 and multi-year support to accelerate its development.
Recognition for our scientific approach
Being a finalist for this award is true recognition for Anopa. From Perpignan, we are developing a technology for traceability through isotopic analysis, capable of precisely determining the geographical origin of a food product. This solution is aimed at agricultural and agri-food sectors seeking transparency, ethics, and reliability: coffee, cocoa, honey… all products for which provenance is a key issue.
Our method is for those who want to go beyond paper declarations, to build a solid, verifiable, and responsible supply chain.
Catalan Pride
This award highlights the entrepreneurial energy of the Catalan region, and we are honored to be among the projects selected this year. It is also a way for us to promote locally applied science, serving a more just and sustainable world.
Anopa: Science-backed proof. Thanks to isotopic analysis, we help agricultural sectors authenticate the origin of their products and secure their supply chain – from farm to plate.
