NAVE Signs letter of support with the Estonian Society of Heating Engineers
NAVE, a B2B SaaS platform that helps energy and science companies automate engineering workflows, has signed a Letter of Support with the Estonian Society of Heating Engineers (ESTIS). The collaboration focuses on strengthening Estonia’s energy engineering sector through innovation and smarter use of existing engineering talent.
ESTIS, which unites specialists in heating and energy engineering across Estonia, recognizes the growing challenges in the field: increasing project complexity, the transition to renewable energy, and a shortage of experienced engineers.

Why ESTIS decided to support NAVE
Kertu Lepiksaar, Chairman of the Board at ESTIS, explains why the organization sees NAVE as an important step for the sector:
“Today the biggest challenge in both energy and engineering is that we have too few good engineers.
The move toward renewable solutions demands constant development. This creates new possibilities but also requires new skills and new knowledge.
Companies already feel the lack of specialists. Salaries are high, students are hired very early, and we are missing strong people in every part of the field — designers, analysts, project managers, and consultants.
Estonia’s competitiveness depends on innovation. When resources are limited, existing teams must work smarter.
We see that NAVE has the potential to bring valuable innovation to the sector and help make Estonia more competitive globally.”
Digitalizing engineering knowledge - a smart move
NAVE’s platform enables engineering teams to digitalize their know-how, create engineering concepts, run simulations, perform complex calculations, and generate budgeting and dimensioning — all in minutes instead of weeks. This helps companies preserve expertise, increase accuracy, and deliver projects faster.
Cathy-Liis Põlluveer, Founder & CEO of NAVE, commented:
“ESTIS brings together Estonia’s heating and energy engineers, and they understand the real challenges engineering teams face.
Their support means a lot to us. It confirms that digitalizing engineering knowledge is not only useful — it is necessary.
Estonia cannot rely on having more and more engineers. Instead, we must help today’s specialists work smarter, faster, and with higher accuracy. NAVE was built exactly for this.”
The Letter of Support reflects a shared goal: helping Estonia’s energy companies adopt modern tools, maintain valuable competence, and remain competitive throughout the energy transition.
