Partnering to scale Nature-Based Solutions worldwide
One week ago EcoShape signed an MoU with Invest International to strengthen our collaboration on implementing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS): solutions that build with nature to tackle challenges like climate change — for example, protecting coastlines with sand replenishment and dunes.
Why Invest International?
Global issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and food insecurity demand urgent action. Invest International is a trusted partner for international growth with purpose – enabling Dutch and Dutch-linked businesses to scale their innovations abroad and create meaningful global impact. Their mission aligns closely with our Building with Nature philosophy: implementing sustainable, nature-based water infrastructure worldwide to strengthen nature, economy, and society. With their support, expertise, and drive, we can scale NBS to where they are needed most.
Proven partnership in practice
We’re already working together to protect the West African coast — combining Dutch expertise with local climate resilience efforts, while building a shared knowledge base on NBS in practice. One example is our ongoing collaboration in Togo, where EcoShape supports the development of a monitoring system to observe coastal protection projects that include NBS components along the West African coastline.
Moving forward, we will work together to solve global challenges while broadening avenues and markets for Dutch businesses by providing much needed expertise, knowledge and technology for the implementation of NBS.
This is just the beginning. We’re eager to see what solutions and impact this collaboration will unlock.
