Focus areas

Designing urban safety

We know that the feeling of security is the bellwether of a healthy society, so how can we create sustainable safety solutions for a transforming future? Be there to experience an interactive look at the future of public safety design that is thrillingly hopeful. From crime-fighting lightning to a new direction on cooperative safety, we have summoned the movements and mindsets emerging today.

Making public spaces

What does it take to construct public places where people want to be, thinking not as an urban planner, but as a citizen, to enhance both productivity and livability of cities? We look for answers to the question of what a sustainable public space looks like and search for new viewpoints on the role of urban areas in a rapidly evolving future.

Reinventing city governance

The city is the most complex human system there is, yet its governance is where we sometimes find the most traditional kinds of technology. The time is right for a new direction in city development. We’re inventing city governance for a rapidly evolving world of smart cities, in a variety of events, talks and activities aiming to inspire and tell the story about how cities gain power over their own governance.

Boost the life between the houses

This two-day conference unites daring thinkers, digital dreamers, sustainability specialists and future icons from the world of design and engineering. You are invited to make an impact when we are rewriting the rules, remodeling the ideas and rethinking the objects of a city built for the wellness of the people living there.

Be there when the brain meets brave.

H22 Summit is a meeting point for the smart city ecosystem, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds. We have summoned the mindsets and movements that point towards where smart urban innovation is going. Smart because it shows understanding for the inhabitants of the city. Smart because it fills different needs, like supporting you in being efficient at work and helping you relax at home. As this annual event leads up to the city expo H22 in 2022, every event, session and activity will ultimately influence life inside and outside the house walls of Helsingborg.

Explore an urban revolution.

The undeniable physical in-existence of some of the innovations enhance the fact that the future of smart cities is everything but determined. The future we get is the future we make. Be there to relate, play, learn and work, while affecting this new wave in urban innovation for the wellness of the people. Be a part of the development towards a city that might not always be perfect, but always aims to be. Hundreds of co-creators take part in creating this unique experience, everyone with a question of their own. Get wiser by diving headfirst in to two days of inspiring friction and new pathways.
