To make biobased building mainstream, we need collective momentum. That’s why we’re building a network of frontrunners across the entire value chain.

Our networks across Europe
Our network spans six European countries and brings together developers, investors, policymakers, cities, insurers, and the forestry community. Our frontrunners and partners share a common vision: breaking down barriers, shaping policy, and scaling timber and biobased solutions for a built environment that benefits climate, nature and people.
Our Frontrunners
Built by Nature’s Frontrunners are recognised as industry leaders driving the bio-based building transformation. They lead through research, innovation, advocacy, and city-scale projects. With a commitment to collaboration, these pioneers break down barriers and deploy collective solutions for a built environment the benefits climate, nature and people.
We connect you
Join a network that opens doors. We connect you online and in person through webinars, round tables and our flagship Annual Summit to exchange knowledge, shape policy and tackle industry challenges. From national to global collaboration, we create opportunities to network and influence strategic projects. Our yearly Frontrunner Survey gives you exclusive insights into the biobased movement in Europe and beyond.
Annual Summit
The Built by Nature Annual Summit is the leading global event driving the transformation of the built environment through responsible timber and biobased construction. This flagship yearly gathering brings together key actors in the timber and biobased materials movement to exchange knowledge, shape policy, and tackle industry challenges. It is a unique opportunity to connect with frontrunners, influence strategic projects, and accelerate the shift toward a sustainable future.
We fund research and innovation
The Built by Nature Fund backs solutions that remove barriers to timber adoption and scale their impact. Each year, priorities reflect market needs. For example: 2026 will focus on strengthening the business case, improving risk management, and maximising resource use to accelerate climate-positive construction. The results are shared freely on our Knowledge Hub.
