Design and architecture are crucial drivers for the green transition, both when it comes to increasing competitiveness and development in Nordic businesses, and contributing to the sustainable transformation of our cities and communities.
In order to unleash the full potential of our creative superpowers, Nordic design and architecture institutions are now strengthening our strategic cooperation. Though we have somewhat different mandates, target groups and business models, we strongly believe that this will bring added value to all our target groups both in the private and the public sector, and not the least to our citizens.
The formal launch of a joint Nordic Platform for Design and Architecture will take place in relation to the UIA World Congress of Architecture in Copenhagen in July 2023.
