City of Malmö, Sweden
Malmö is one of Sweden’s fastest growing metropolitan centers. Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden and it is the fastest-growing of the three major cities in Sweden. In recent years Malmö has grown progressively and has currently over 370,000 inhabitants. The city’s inhabitants come from around 180 countries and speak some 150 different languages. Malmö aspires to be a sustainable city – socially, economically and environmentally. Climate Transition Malmö is the City of Malmö’s gathering of forces to mobilize public activities, business, academia, civil society and Malmö residents to increase the pace of climate change. Within the framework of Climate Transition Malmö, actors collaborate on prioritized transition areas where there is potential to reduce Malmö’s climate impact.
About the partnership
The role of City of Malmö in the project will be “Replicator” – a partner for the exchange of experiences. The local work will be done in collaboration with Rise. The main focus is to develop a “hub” for industrial symbiosis to enable circularity and innovation through sector integration. The local hub in Malmö is called The Resource Hub. The technology and innovations developed in this hub will be shared with partners in the project and vice versa. City of Malmö have a long and documented experience in working with supporting the development of industrial and urban symbiosis. That has resulted in the recent establishment of the Resource Hub, a meeting place and arena for circular development in Malmö and the possibility to become a Replicator in the Hubs 4 Circularity Theseus Project.
