Built by Nature

Built by Nature is a network and grant-making fund dedicated to accelerating the timber building transformation in Europe. We support pioneering developers, architects and engineers, asset owners and managers, investors and insurers, city leaders, academics, researchers, non-profits and policymakers by connecting industry and city frontrunners, creating the networks and opportunities for sector-shaping coalitions, and knowledge sharing. We enable innovation and change by convening teams and funding solutions that highlight the innovation, city-scale projects and advocacy required, and amplify the success stories, case studies and knowledge generated by our networks.
