Located in the heart of Brussels' European quarter, Norrsken House Brussels offers seven floors of co-working space tailored to impact-driven innovators. The hub is set to become a cornerstone for high-level conversations, curated events, and networking opportunities. Its mission is to bring together Europe’s leading voices to drive meaningful change on the continent and beyond.

This comes at a pivotal time for Europe’s cleantech sector, which has seen a surge of growth. With twice as many climate and cleantech startups as the US, Europe is positioning itself as a global leader in sustainability and innovation. In fact, climate tech accounted for nearly 30% of all European VC funding in 2023, while purpose-driven tech investments in Europe made up over 40% of the global total.

“We’re creating a space for the next economy—one where sustainability, entrepreneurship, and clean technology lead the way,” says Niklas Adalberth, Founder of Norrsken Foundation.

“Europe has all the ingredients needed to be a global leader in this space—world-class talent, cutting-edge research, and a forward-thinking regulatory environment. What’s missing is stronger collaboration between policymakers and entrepreneurs who are building the future.”

Norrsken House Brussels is designed to bridge that gap. The space will host a range of events and gatherings, developed in collaboration with organisations like Cleantech for Europe and #SustainablePublicAffairs. Together, these partners aim to create a broad platform for diverse voices within European entrepreneurship and sustainability, fostering collaboration and driving forward the impact agenda at both the grassroots and policy levels.

“The Norrsken House will empower its members to connect with policymakers, entrepreneurs, and investors who are shaping Europe’s future,” adds Willem Vriesendorp, co-founder of Norrsken House Brussels. “We want to ensure that sustainability isn’t just a lofty goal but a viable business case backed by regulators. It’s time for impact entrepreneurship to become the norm.”

Beyond the physical space, members will gain access to Norrsken’s global ecosystem, including opportunities for collaboration with fellow changemakers from around the world. The house will offer preferred access to Norrsken Houses in Stockholm, Barcelona, and Kigali, as well as invitations to events like Impact/Week.

The launch of Norrsken House Brussels signals a new chapter for Europe’s push toward sustainable innovation. By connecting entrepreneurs with policymakers and industry leaders, the house will help ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of clean technology and purpose-driven business.

“Europe’s sustainability agenda is more critical than ever,” says Adalberth. “Now is the time to turn that ambition into tangible impact. Norrsken House Brussels is here to make that happen.”
