In autumn 2023, the company Nudgd and the City of Helsingborg carried out a project to reduce driving at schools. The EU has now recognised the project. The city has learnt several lessons about what works and what doesn't.

The City of Helsingborg has been selected to participate in the EU's Pilot Cities programme. The city will receive SEK 6.6 million in support for sustainable urban development, with Oceanhamnen as its focus.

An electric-powered and 3D-printed vehicle that can be loaded from the front and the back and carry both people and goods – could this be the future mobility solution in cities? The City of Helsingborg and Lund University will now explore just that.

In February, Helsingborg opened a brand-new Centre for Innovation – Parken. Here, businesses, academia, civil society, and other change actors will meet to shape the future. "We need to work together across sectors to create a smart, sustainable, and considerate city," says Lisa Olsson.

How do you motivate schoolchildren to understand climate data? In Helsingborg, students can directly monitor air quality, electricity use, and food waste in the classroom. The tool is now being rolled out to even more schools.

Ashley Hall, a PhD student at Lund University, is making strides in wastewater treatment research at RecoLab in Helsingborg, Sweden. Commissioned by Sweden Water Research and NSVA (a municipal water and wastewater company), her focus is on reducing nutrient concentrations in wastewater.

Bad records put patients at risk. But auditing 3,500 patient records is almost impossible. Unless you are a robot, that is. Now, a meticulous robotic process automation keeps track of all the city's patient records and sounds the alarm before someone gets hurt.

Pupils need more passing grades. But how? All schools in Helsingborg will soon have access to technology that will find the answer. The digital tool will create automated analyses that take a deep dive into the operations.

In Helsingborg harbour, a unique mussel farm is cultivating underwater. Over 60 residents are involved in the marine colony. The goal is to determine if eating mussels grown in an urban harbour is possible.

Helsingborg is one of six finalists for the European Capital of Smart Tourism award, given to the city that demonstrates a deep commitment to shaping the future of sustainable and innovative tourism.

Noisy garbage trucks block the streets and interrupt early morning sleep; that is what garbage collection has looked like for a long time. Now the City of Helsingborg, together with Robot Minds AB and Nordvästra Skånes Renhållnings AB (NSR), wants to implement a project where self-driving robots collect the garbage instead. Helsingborg will receive SEK 2.8 million from Sweden's innovation agency Vinnova to test autonomous robots in waste collection.

To reach the climate goals, the City of Helsingborg needs to recycle more. How we consume and use resources affects the earth's climate. Reusing instead of throwing away and buying new is one way to reduce our climate impact.
