We exist to give engineers their time back
Driven by engineers.
Built for engineers.
NAVE’s mission is to simplify engineering and science by providing smart, digital solutions.
Our vision is to unlock the true potential of engineers by making engineering processes and calculations digitally intelligent.
Why engineering workflows need to change?
The PROBLEM
Applied science engineering is facing a global talent shortage, while project demands are growing more complex and urgent. Despite the digital revolution, engineering work remains largely analog.
Up to 80% of engineering time is lost to repetitive, non-creative tasks like manual product selection, data lookup, proposal writing, and budgeting.
Critical know-how often remains locked in the minds of senior engineers, creating bottlenecks, making companies vulnerable to talent churn, and increasing the risk of costly errors.
As a result, many engineers face burnout or lack the skills to perform effectively, while companies struggle with faulty projects and limited growth.
NAVE is a B2B SaaS platform that transforms engineering expertise into reusable digital tools.
NAVE is not just another tool — it aims to become your end-to-end engineering copilot.
From quick one-off calculations to building complex plant solutions, we enable engineers to work smarter, faster, and more accurately.
We streamline and automate core workflows - cutting project preparation time from weeks to minutes.
What NAVE does — and why it matters?
The Solution
Our team
NAVE was founded by engineers who wanted to work smarter and faster.
Led by Cathy-Liis Põlluveer, NAVE brings together experts in software, energy, and product design.
Cathy-Liis Põlluveer
co-founder / CEO
Thermal Power Engineer MSc, EstQF Level 8
Cathy-Liis has over a decade of experience driving sustainability in the energy and water sectors. She is a former head of a sales team of 12 engineers spanning four generations. Her deep industry insight led to the realization that a major bottleneck in applied science engineering is the lack of digital tools.
NAVE was founded to solve exactly that.
