Syxis joins the New European Bauhaus community through the STAR*trackB4P project
Syxis strengthens its commitment to sustainable innovation and European collaboration: our COO, Dena Arabsolgar, has officially been appointed as a NEB Advisor within the STAR*trackB4P project, part of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative.
This role places Syxis within a Europe-wide network of experts working to connect local innovation ecosystems—particularly across the built environment value chain—with the vision, tools, and opportunities promoted by the New European Bauhaus.
What it means to be a NEB Advisor
NEB Advisors play a strategic role in translating the NEB vision into concrete action at local and regional level.
Acting as connectors, facilitators, and ambassadors, they help bridge the gap between European frameworks and national or territorial innovation activities.
As part of this community, Syxis contributes to:
- Disseminating key NEB resources, such as the NEB Handbook, across its networks
- Supporting peer learning through events, webinars, and knowledge exchange
- Sharing information on funding opportunities, including Horizon Europe calls
- Identifying local needs related to financing, skills development, and collaboration for NEB-aligned projects
This work will continue beyond Nebula, within the STAR*track project, ensuring long-term impact and continuity.
A role aligned with Syxis’ mission
Being part of the NEB Advisors community perfectly aligns with Syxis’ identity as an innovation hub.
Our mission has always been to foster sustainable, systemic innovation, supporting organizations, institutions, and ecosystems in navigating complexity and accelerating transformation.
Through this role, Syxis can:
- Strengthen cross-border collaboration within Europe’s innovation landscape
- Enable access to strategic knowledge, tools, and funding opportunities
- Support stakeholders in designing projects aligned with sustainability, inclusiveness, and quality of life
- Actively contribute to shaping the future of the built environment
Why innovation communities matter today
In a context marked by climate urgency, social challenges, and rapid technological change, no single actor can innovate alone.
European initiatives like the New European Bauhaus demonstrate the power of communities of practice: spaces where diverse expertise, disciplines, and perspectives come together to co-create solutions with real impact.
These communities:
- Accelerate innovation by sharing knowledge and best practices
- Reduce fragmentation between local and European initiatives
- Empower organizations and territories to access opportunities otherwise out of reach
- Turn values—such as sustainability, beauty, and togetherness—into actionable strategies
Looking ahead
Syxis is proud to contribute to the New European Bauhaus ecosystem and to support the STAR*trackB4P project as a NEB Advisor.
We look forward to collaborating with partners across Europe to help build a more sustainable, inclusive, and people-centred future for the built environment.
