Biography

Kauffmann has devoted much of his career to communication, winning awards and recognition for his work in environmental communication, such as the Impact Award 2019 (Barcelona) or the Act.Responsible award, affiliated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications, and Global Impact for the 'Plastic Fish' campaign to raise awareness about ocean pollution.

In 2025, The NeverRest Project signed an agreement with the National Parks Foundation of Costa Rica to implement a technology designed to measure the impact generated by tourism and turn that information into actions and resources for conservation and regeneration projects in natural spaces.

Way of thinking

Innovation, yes. But for what?

Frédéric champions innovation that is useful, understandable and connected to real problems. Technology can expand our capabilities, but it is only useful when there is a clear intent, a strategy and people capable of turning it into action.

Areas of expertise

Four fields connected by the same outlook.

Frédéric connects regenerative tourism, technology and innovation, data and impact, and creativity and transformation. His approach combines reflection on these changes with the experience of developing projects and communicating complex ideas in an understandable way.

Institutional relations and collaborations

Throughout his career, Frédéric has built working relationships with public administrations, tourism bodies and organizations linked to conservation, in Spain and internationally.

This experience combines institutional dialogue, collaboration and the development of projects that connect innovation, sustainability and territory. Work that requires understanding different priorities, finding shared goals and coordinating efforts to move forward.
