Built Environment - Smarter Transformation (BE-ST)
Built Environment – Smarter Transformation (BE-ST) is Scotland’s national innovation centre for construction and the built environment.
Its mission is to accelerate the built environment’s just transition to net zero carbon and does this through a wide range of collaborative projects, programmes, platforms and partnerships focused on delivering tangible impact at pace. Collaboration partners can access Scotland’s innovation ecosystem and benefit from a range of flexible tools and support services including an extensive network of academic expertise and the Innovation Campus; the UK’s first built environment-focused manufacturing centre, prototyping, and future skills centre of excellence.
BE-ST is supercharging change that will help achieve the vision of a better built environment that delivers inclusive and sustainable economic, social, and environmental impact for Scotland and the planet.
We deliver impact across three interlinked programme areas: Housing & Manufacturing, Retrofit & Energy Efficiency and Skills & Training.
BE-ST has vast experience in programme delivery including the management of funding. We have delivered multiple Scottish Government and other public sector grant funded projects including the Workplace Equality Fund, United Kingdom Research and Innovation funding and projects with the Scottish Government’s Just Transition team.
As part of Edinburgh Napier University, BE-ST is regulated by the university's financial framework and HR policies. Edinburgh Napier University are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels proud, confident, challenged, and supported and are holders of Disability Confident, Carer Positive and Stonewall Diversity Champion status.
