Sweden's port to Europe: NEB Local Chapter Skåne

About NEB

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is an initiative launched by the European Commission in 2020 to foster a sustainable, inclusive and aesthetically inspiring transformation of living spaces across Europe. Inspired by the original Bauhaus movement, it addresses modern challenges such as climate change, social inclusion and digitalisation. NEB blends design, sustainability and innovation to create environments that are ecologically sustainable, economically viable and accessible to all.
