Azote's history
Azote’s founders, Jerker Lokrantz and Robert Kautsky, met through a shared interest in photography and how images have the power to convey larger messages. On a photo trip to West Africa, they got an idea to share images that reflect the interaction between humans, nature and society. One summer night by a campfire in Mali, they decided to start a company, and the name Azote was the first thing that came to mind when Robert opened his French dictionary. Azote means nitrogen and makes up 78 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere – that is, the atmosphere that is the prerequisite for all life on Earth.
Since then, the world has changed and we are navigating profound societal shift. Azote is now a full-service agency that helps researchers, universities, civil society and businesses become part of the transition that is necessary in creating a sustainable world — now and for future generations.
