Testimonials
“Having worked with Horizon NUA since their inception, I have seen them rapidly evolve into a capable and trusted partner in research and innovation projects in the areas of sustainability, enterprise scaling, business support & training and communications / dissemination. I can’t recommend them highly enough as collaborators in complex and ambitious projects as they are skilled, professional and flexible – not to mention a pleasure to work with!”

"The support that we received from the Horizon Nua business planning process was invaluable to us as novices to setting up a business. From creating a pitch to providing us with opportunities to discuss challenges with other new nature-based enterprises, we were able to develop a much firmer foundation for our new endeavour"

"Well-structured report broken down into five sections. Well-presented and good use of graphics. This is an extremely impressive piece of work and deserves to be held up as an example of good practice for other projects still to report. A big well done!"

"It was a stepping stone for our project. Doing the Business Model Canvas workshop with Horizon Nua, helped change our way of thinking: we started to think a little bit more outside the box; to search for new approaches and ideas on how the park could be renovated and supported other than with the municipal budget. This means that through the activities in the park, financial income could be generated, which could later be used for the maintenance of the park in its further development.”

"I just wanted to update you on how we used the Nature-Based Solutions Business Model Canvas. We developed over the past three years a Masterplan on Green Infrastructure ("Grünplan" in German and "Piano del Verde" in Italian) for the city of Merano in Northern Italy. It was useful to identify the correct strategies and actions."
