How can research strengthen Helsingborg’s development and meet the challenges of the future? Seven research projects at Campus Helsingborg have now received funding from the city’s Research and Development Fund for 2025, totalling SEK 4.6 million. The projects address issues such as future housing, security through co-creation, sustainable packaging and smart security solutions for tomorrow’s cities.
