Nāst projects and initiatives - where the vision becomes reality

Turning innovation into action

We believe true innovation happens through collaboration — and that’s where you come in. At Näst Innovation Destination, cutting-edge facilities and a vibrant co-creation process invite you to contribute your expertise. Together with industry, academia, and the public sector, we’re building an environment where bold ideas become real solutions in areas like sustainable energy, advanced materials, mobility, and software. This is where tomorrow’s innovations are developed, tested, and brought to life.

These four areas have been chosen in collaboration with our community, partners and experts to ensure that we ask the right questions and focus on the right issues to come up with the right solutions.
