Creating NEBourhoods Together will pave the way to make Munich-Neuperlach “New European Bauhaus-ready”. Neuperlach (NPL) was Germany's biggest post-war urban expansion area with about 65.000 inhabitants. To make this 50-year-old district fit for the future the City of Munich set up an integrated urban concept and action plan based on comprehensive analysis of the challenges together with citizens and stakeholders in 2020/21. NPL faces weaknesses, e.g. higher than average unemployment and lower educational levels or high numbers of migration population. But it has strengths that, against the backdrop of these challenges, can become a breeding ground for a beautiful, sustainable and inclusive regeneration: strong social ties and bottom-up dynamics, vast green areas and largescale housing and office structures in need of renovation that can grow into something new. The City of Munich is committed to the EU-missions and aims at becoming a Climate-neutral and Smart City. In NPL, our test-bed for this mission, we will plant tangible pilots as lighthouse demonstrators and thus, going beyond urban regeneration so far, deliver NEBourhoods, inspiring and replicable nuclei of practises on the ground for the future of urban development. The partnership led by the City of Munich brings together UnternehmerTUM, TUM, HM University of Applied Sciences, Architekturgalerie Munich, NGOs and more. Combining co-creation and entrepreneurship, putting culture and creativity at the core of the transformation process, the project will deliver accessible and empowering solutions to make the EU-Green Deal beneficial for all in NPL and beyond. The district will be carefully cultivated into a resilient urban innovation landscape. Within two years, we will create NEBourhoods together and show how we can realise circular thinking and acting in society and economy, activate the green transformation in building, mobility, energy, food and health and enhance public space.

SYSTEMEU is an initiative aimed at transforming European innovation ecosystems through open innovation by fostering digitalization in healthcare, energy, and mobility. It unites five regional ecosystems, fostering inclusivity and collaboration among universities, incubators, public organizations, government agencies, and innovation centers from Germany, Romania, Portugal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Spain. SYSTEMEU addresses the issue of traditional innovation efforts' limited focus on societal and environmental transformation, introducing a systemic and long-term perspective. By fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, SYSTEMEU will enable adaptable policies and stimulate economic vibrancy, enhancing societal well-being and advancing European innovation. SYSTEMEU promises to create interconnected, inclusive, and more efficient innovation ecosystems, strengthen cross-border network collaboration through six cross-regional projects in project duration and others after the project end, expand global cooperation through existing networks of European actors and ecosystems, promote gender equality, and reduce territorial inequalities in access to innovation support, aligning with EU policies and strategies. SYSTEMEU's innovative approach aims to usher Europe into a regenerative world.
