Built by Nature
Built by Nature is a network and accelerator fund set up by Laudes Foundation to accelerate the timber building transformation in Europe. Our vision is for our built environment to work in unison with nature, and our mission is to lead a global transformation of the built environment by mainstreaming the use of biobased materials. We do this by supercharging the timber building ecosystem through the Built by Nature network and Accelerator Fund, connecting leading frontrunners, enabling them to unleash their innovation power and put in place empowering policies, and amplifying inspiring stories of ground-breaking timber projects and solutions.
