BBK KUNA is one of the most ambitious projects of the BBK Banking Foundation, a foundation working on improving the lives and social welfare of the territory of Biscay whose mission has always been to promote social projects that contribute to the sustainable development and regeneration of the region where its main activity is carried out and with a collaborative and open vision of local, national, European and international stakeholders and trends. To provide a space for its social innovation projects BBK carried out the refurbishment of The Cradle House of Bilbao and built BBK Kuna (craddle): the House of the SDGs, an innovation centre that gathers all agents of society in the search of solutions to challenges such as ageing, migration, climate change, poverty, etc. BBK Kuna is a reference centre for the social innovation ecosystem in the Basque Country and embedding NEB values and activities within its own programmes will ensure capillarity of the European network.
