At Zano we have decades of combined experience in project design, co-creation and social innovation, both in the United Kingdom, Ireland and further afield.

We have worked with government departments and inter-governmental agencies, as well as developing our own tech solutions.
OUR WORK
Building a better future for people and the planet
In an uncertain world, our core objective is to drive regeneration solving social and environmental issues impacting on our communities and wider society. We will do this by combining our knowledge of social innovation and sustainability to build a better future for people and the planet.
We are also grounded in what we do and always “give back” through supporting local social enterprises. Every year we work with several start-ups providing support and knowledge to help them become sustainable enterprises and create positive social and environmental impact within their communities. Check out who we’re currently helping.
