Introducing the upcoming NONA Regional Investment Forum in Ljetnikovac, Šabac Serbia

We are excited to make the first announcement on the upcoming Regional Investment Forum in Šabac, happening on the 9th of October in Šabac, Serbia. The Regional Investment Forum is organised as a key event within the pilot site Letnjikovac activities on the project NONA – New Governance for New Spaces. The forum will bring together local administration representatives, professional public figures, international partners, representatives from the civil sector, and potential investors. They will share experiences, discuss common priorities, and work together to shape sustainable urban investments. Through professional panels, thematic discussions, and interactive work with the audience, participants will commonly recognise developmental potentials, to determine priorities and define specific suggestions for improving public space through ecological and socially sustainable interventions.

Forum format: The forum is structured in two thematic panels, accompanied by discussion and interactive work with the audience:

• Panel 1: Experiences in the implementation of green investment in sustainable urban and territorial development (planned speakers). Presentation of practical experiences and projects with a focus on green transition, including examples from urban green development, sustainable urban agriculture and gardening, education, and circular economy.
