Our mission
A paradigm shift towards nature
We believe in taking responsibility, taking action, and working with nature and people to create a just and sustainable future for all.
Horizon Nua is a non-profit foundation supporting people, cities, regions, innovators, and entrepreneurs to transition towards a just, carbon-neutral, nature-positive economy. We bring together communities of nature-based enterprises through networks and events to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.
We work with leading research institutions, translating knowledge into actionable guidelines, strategies, and tools, enabling real change.
Our expertise in action
Innovation in Financing of Nature-based Solutions
Case Study
The focus is often on financing the capital investment costs of nature-based solutions with not enough consideration going into planning long-term sustainable business models to secure a return on investment.
The Vital Role of Nature-Based Solutions in a Nature-Positive Economy
Case Study
Natural ecosystems provide us with resources such as food, clean air, water, and regulate the climate. The degradation of ecosystems affects society and human health and wellbeing.
Supporting nature-based entrepreneurship
Article
One of the key challenges for organizations involved in any research and innovation actions at a European level is the exploitation and sustainability of project and process innovations that emerge over the lifetime of the funded action. Project funders want to see concrete plans for any new innovations that emerge from the project.
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"
