The Festival encompasses four key pillars:  

• Forum - a platform for engaging discussions and the exchange of ideas surrounding the New European Bauhaus.
• Fair - a laboratory and exhibition, highlighting projects and prototypes that align with and support the core values of the New European Bauhaus.
• Fest - a celebration that unites culture, art, and conviviality, serving as a moment of collective rejoicing, honouring freedom of expression and embracing radical, innovative, and disruptive ideas and visions.
• Satellite events - initiatives and events organised independently in Brussels and beyond, aligned with the New European Bauhaus values. 
   

First held in 2022, the NEB Festival is a biennial event that invites people to celebrate and take stock of the progress of the New European Bauhaus, the European Commission initiative that aims to turn the European Green Deal and Clean Industrial Deal into tangible change on the ground, improving daily lives through sustainable solutions for the built environment and lifestyles. 

It combines sustainability with good design, inclusivity, accessibility, and affordability, respecting Europe's diverse places, cultural heritage, and cultures.
