REAL TEST FIELDS - MEASURABLE RESULTS
From the idea to the market-ready product: Use our demonstrators and laboratories to develop, test and optimize prototypes.
NEST
In the construction and energy sectors, long investment periods and strict regulations make it difficult to introduce new technologies. There is often a gap between functioning laboratory solutions and market-ready products. Empa & Eawag's research and innovation building NEST (Next Evolution in Sustainable Building Technologies) closes this gap and helps new sustainable solutions to gain a foothold in the construction industry more quickly.
