A community co-creating and shaping sustainable solutions

Nāst serves as a facilitator curating collaborations

We believe collaboration is key to unlocking sustainable innovation.

More than just a physical space, Nāst is an ecosystem where tenants, partners, and stakeholders from public, private, and academic sectors unite to drive progress in sustainable technologies.

Through cross-industry partnerships in four focus areas — powered by workshops, design sprints, seminars, and lectures — we turn ideas into real-world solutions.
