A position at the forefront of the industry

  • A quarter of our activity is focused on scientific research to work on key issues for the future. We continuously host three to four CIFRE theses and work in partnership with the universities of Bordeaux and Pau.
  • We lead several R&D programmes with our industrial partners, programme managers, digital solution providers, etc., which have benefited from the support of France 2030 (since 2013).
  • We participate in many responses to French (ADEME, AnR, Regions, etc.) and European (Horizon Europe, LIFE, Interreg, etc.) calls for R&D projects. We contribute to the regulatory framework (AFNOR, CAP 2030, RE2020, etc.) and are behind initiatives such as APEMEVE

Cross-disciplinary skills to meet complex expectations

Our team brings together a range of skills: expertise in the construction sector, energy, environmental issues, data management and processing, and AI.
Our projects cover the entire construction value chain, enabling us to correctly understand the dynamics and issues facing the industry.

Proactivity and initiative

Each member of our team does not simply respond to a need, but also proposes new ideas. From the project scoping phase onwards, we systematically help our clients and partners to correctly define their needs and develop them to achieve concrete results.

Our story


NOBATEK is the result of an encounter and a shared vision. Our development is the result of a concerted strategy, the support of our founders and the commitment of our teams.

2004 Nobatek is founded

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.).
