Forum Samhällsbyggnad: Sustainable Construction Shone a Spotlight on Real Change: How Do We Move from Policy, Regulations, and Climate Goals to Implementation, Innovation, and Tangible Results? Forum Samhällsbyggnad 2026 was held in Gothenburg on March 24.
Forum Samhällsbyggnad is an annual event and meeting place for those who want to stay one step ahead and lead the way in driving change. The 2026 edition spotlighted the transition to sustainable construction and brought together industry stakeholders to discuss how this can be achieved in practice and what is needed to turn future goals into reality.
The construction and real estate sector is facing a rapid shift, with new EU requirements, climate goals, and regulations demanding a genuine sustainable transition rather than just visions. But how do we move from ambitious goals to real change in urban development, at the pace required? When industry players gathered in Gothenburg, two things became clear: the transition is no longer a matter for the future; it is happening right here and now. But it cannot be solved through isolated initiatives; it depends on how well we succeed in connecting value chains, data, and business models. That is why partnerships, shared knowledge, and the ability to test, scale, and disseminate solutions are absolutely crucial.
RISE plays a vital role as a driver of change for Sweden’s transition and competitiveness—but this is something we achieve together. The Forum for Urban Development is precisely the kind of meeting place where collaboration becomes possible.
