Your initiative

As an SE26 partner, you create content that:

• targets both private individuals and B2B audiences,
• is relevant to a national and/or international audience,
• can be packaged into engaging experiences for a broad public.

Your initiative can be physical or digital, location-based or communicative – and ideally something that lives on beyond the expo itself. This may include everything from test environments and innovation projects to public activities and new forms of collaboration.

You help drive development within your field by showcasing future solutions, systems, or stories. You are also co-creators of a broader context that highlights how societies can become more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient.
