#4 H22 City Expo: "Bringing out the super-hero in everyone‪"‬ Smart in the City – The BABLE Podcast

Today, our journey toward a better urban life led us to the city of Helsingborg, Sweden.
In this episode, we sat down with Åsa Bjering, who works in international relations for the city, and we discussed the main event to come in Helsingborg this summer: the 6 weeks-long H22 City Expo.
From 30 May to 3 July 2022, it will be the culmination and springboard in the city's long-term initiative to become an enabler of collaborative innovation and be the biggest arena in Europe for sustainable urban transformation in 2022.
BABLE will be at H22 City Expo for the Urban Future Conference on June 1st-2nd and at the H22 City Arena on June 15th. Want to meet up? Contact us!
