Sweden Sweden — Heba is raising the bar considerably for the coming years.

According to CEO Patrik Emanuelsson, the way there is through a new business model where property development, more efficient management and a more active capital allocation will be reinforced by data, digital twins and AI. "One house must be able to teach all houses. Heba will get more value out of each property," says Patrik Emanuelsson.
