The village's hub for research for what is smart and sustainable
Smart Villages Hub
Veberöd is a test village for developing sustainability in a village. Researchers and companies are already working on how Veberöd can be developed and what measures are required. Together, a common platform for research and development is created around what is smart and sustainable.
Cooperation and transparency provide sustainability for all.

Our partners
Developing the countryside and seeing what smart villages really are and can be is not something you do alone. This is only done through commitment and the right partners! We want to make Veberöd a village where the latest technology can be used and where people come first. A village that already has great commitment and which we hope can be a village that can be a model for rural development throughout Sweden.
Council
Strength is created through open collaborations. In our council there are people who, with expertise and creativity, help
smart villages to become a research village for what is smart and sustainable.
