PRESS INVITE: H22 City Expo launches the programme for Sweden’s biggest innovation fest in 2022
Welcome to a digital press conference with the City of Helsingborg on 16 March at 11:00 regarding the international event H22 City Expo (30 May- 3 July). We are proud to present the single biggest event for innovation and sustainable urban development in the Nordic region in 2022 with up to 100 official partners from the business sector, academia, and civil society.
During the 35-day expo this summer, visitors will be able to experience groundbreaking innovations, circular solutions, national and international conferences, culture and music, design and architecture exhibitions, hackathons, and inspirational activities for life in a smarter and more sustainable city.
Helsingborg has a proud tradition of organising major expos. As early as 1955, the H55 craft and design fair attracted a million visitors. In 1999, H99 became the forerunner of a wave of housing exhibitions around Sweden. The city-wide innovation fest H22 City Expo marks the third time that Helsingborg welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city.
