About BBK Kuna
BBK Kuna, Bizkaia’s Home of SDGs, is a space for social innovation in which different agents linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) participate in order to offer the society of Bizkaia numerous solutions to respond to the challenges of the future.
BBK has always been linked to the reality of Bizkaia and engaged in resolving its challenges. It has been leading projects for over 100 years to meet the needs of Bilbao and Bizkaia at any given time. Society has become increasingly more complex and so have the challenges.

Challenges linked to Agenda 2030 that have be addressed in order to continue to grow as a society without leaving anyone behind.
