Our impact
We aim to maximize the impact of our work and play a crucial role in the research and development (R&D) projects we undertake. Our efforts respond to the needs of the industry as well as to environmental and societal issues.
We focus on every stage of the building life cycle, including:
- Design
- Construction
- Operation
- Renovation
- Deconstruction
Our initiatives operate at four geographical levels:
- Local: Through construction projects.
- Regional: By creating labels and geo-sourced industrial sectors.
- National: Through emblematic projects and industrial transfer.
- European: By collaborating with universities, leading technology centers, and economic stakeholders.
Our story
From an innovative regional research center to the National Institute for Energy Transition in Buildings.
NOBATEK is the fruit of a meeting between people and of a strong will. Our development is the result of a concerted strategy, the support of our founders, and the involvement of our teams.
Nobatek is taking shape with the support, and on the model, of the TECNALIA European Foundation for Applied Research, based in the Basque Country. The aim is to develop approaches to the high environmental quality of buildings. The not-for-profit association is supported by the French building federations (FFB, FNTP), local authorities (CR Aquitaine, ACBA, CG64, Anglet town council, etc.), APAVE Sud Europe, the French government (ADEME, D2RT) and the local ecosystem of the ARKINOVA mixed development zone (ISA BTP, Lycée Cantau, FCMB, etc.).
