Check out the entire week’s programme
Helsingborg, Sweden is a city at the forefront of innovation. A test bed for collaborating on smart solutions and a magnet for industry leaders and innovators from across the globe. In Helsingborg, we’re transforming our work culture to ensure we have the support and courage to push the boundaries of what’s possible – all with the goal of improving life for the city’s people!
H22 Summit is a springboard for innovation and a platform for accelerating the work being done to co-create smarter cities. The global challenges we face together need to be solved locally – together. The H22 Summit content covers all things new and exciting in sustainable urban development, with a wide range of top speakers and lively discussions. Tomorrow’s smart city is built on inspiring ideas!

THREE THEMES

FACILITATE
MONDAY-TUESDAY
LEADERSHIP THAT
ACCELERATES INNOVATION
How do we create an innovative, agile organisation that supports development and strives to enable rather than govern? And how can we influence leadership perspectives to break traditional silo structures, promote resilience, and build cities that thrive?

ELEVATE
WEDNESDAY
TECHNOLOGY FOR
THE PEOPLE
In an era of rapid development, the human perspective is vital in the role that technology plays. We explore how we can use smart tech to connect, inspire, and elevate life for those living and working in the city.

CO-CREATE
THURSDAY-FRIDAY
A CITY DEVELOPED BY RESIDENTS,
FOR RESIDENTS
The residents are the beating heart of the city. But how do we create a culture of trust and transparency where co-creation and dialogue with residents are obvious elements in developing the city? And how do we harness the potential power of communities in determining their own future?
