Smart Communities Tour is back!

Four destinations – one shared journey toward smarter and more sustainable communities

Across the New Nordic and European region, cities are redefining how technology, data, and governance shape the way we live.

This initiative brings together Nordic executives, municipal leaders, port directors, energy leaders, and urban developers for a curated learning journey exploring how leading cities turn strategy into action. Together, we meet expert environments, visit groundbreaking projects, and uncover how technology, organization, and people intersect to create real, scalable impact.
 

Why Participate?

As a leader, you gain a strategic foundation for shaping the next era of smart community development:

  • Inspiration and strategic insight to define future‑ready goals and support the green transition.
  • Practical tools and real examples showing how data, technology, and collaboration strengthen services and governance.
  • A Nordic–European network of forward‑leaning leaders ready to partner on new projects.

This journey is about experiencing innovation firsthand — and bringing home ideas that can be implemented directly in your own organization.


First destination: Stockholm

Hammarby Sjöstad & Nacka Municipality

15–16 April 2026
Theme: Digital Districts & Twin Transition

Bjørk Innovation, in collaboration with ElectriCITY Stockholm, invites you to the first journey in this year’s series. Over two days, participants explore how data, energy, and urban development intersect in practice.

The program includes a visit to Hammarby Sjöstad, one of Europe’s leading examples of sustainable urban development, where we examine how digital districts and energy communities support climate goals and smarter local communities. Participants also take part in ElectriCITY’s Innovation Day, delivered with the Urban Twin Transition Centre, focusing on identifying and scaling climate solutions across Swedish cities and regions.

On the second day, the group visits Nacka Municipality, consistently ranked among Sweden’s top digitalization municipalities, to learn how digital services, governance models, and collaboration drive effective and future‑oriented community development.
