We are a network of makers, thinkers, educators and supporters. With members in 44 countries, we are the international network for anyone interested in the debate on our future – in which biology and technology are fusing. Our headquarters is based in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, planet Earth, the Universe.
In a landscape of traditional nature organizations, we are the only group that approaches the concept of nature in a new way. Preserving nature is of great importance, but we must also dare to look ahead. Will we grow meat without slaughtering animals? Embrace the robot as a colleague? Earn ECO coins for sustainable actions? Will we grow babies in artifical wombs one day? We want to go forward – not back – to nature.
We explore how technology becomes so omnipresent, complex, intimate and autonomous – a nature of its own. We stimulate discussion, initiate publications, events and traveling expositions on how to dream, build and live in the next nature.

Our team consists of open, curious, optimistic people from various disciplines. Among our ambassadors are astronaut André Kuipers, professor of experimental architecture Rachel Armstrong and TV host Jason Silva. Our core team works in Amsterdam and Eindhoven– with our network across the whole world. Work with us? Check the jobs section.
