Network
Built by Nature connects organisations with the will and skills to change the system. Our network is made up of partners, industry and city frontrunners, and ambassadors.
Partners
Our partners are those whose leadership and work drives our collective vision and mission. They are part of Built by Nature’s DNA – each leading on critical solutions to the challenges of the timber building transformation.
Frontrunners
Our frontrunners are developers, designers, investors, insurers, asset owners and cities from across Europe with a track record of innovation in, and commitment to, the timber building transformation, and a desire to drive collective climate solutions for the public good.
Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors are the thought leaders and practitioners whose visible leadership is amplifying our collective mission and changing mindsets.
