our vision
galvanise the built world to adopt transformative technologies that solve mission critical problems to pave a better way for future generations
our story: built world
The built world encompasses everything from the buildings we occupy, and the spaces that surround us, to the roads we travel, the bridges that connect communities, and the energy and grids that power them.
We believe the built world is more than just physical infrastructure: it is a manifestation of human ingenuity and a reflection of societal values.
We call it humanity’s OS.
global challenge
As the backdrop to our daily lives and the platform on which humanity operates, the built world is facing an existential moment. Real estate, the largest asset class in the world worth $380 trillion, is the least digitised and most polluting industry, contributing to 40% of global carbon emissions. It is where our most pressing challenges and opportunities intersect, from climate change and resource scarcity to urbanisation and technological advances, and where the future progress, sustainability, and wellbeing of our society reside.
Given its scale and fragmentation, the built world requires long term capital at scale to support its transformation and digitisation.
our ethos
We seek to drive positive transformation across the entire spectrum of new materials, design architecture, engineering construction, building operations, electrification, energy transition, decarbonisation, and climate resiliency. Our name, noa, denotes movement and motion to accelerate change, paving a better way for future generations.
investment partners
As Europe's largest built world technology fund, noa is the partner of choice for early stage, built world tech companies, and asset owners and financial sponsors who recognise us as the sector leading specialist. Our network of select LPs and strategic partners provides our portfolio companies with access to some of the world’s largest incumbents in real estate and construction, to accelerate their development, growth, and commercial progress.
we believe the built world is ‘humanity's OS’ a foundational layer that dictates how we interact with the world around us
