Collaboration

Join the city's forums – and develop Stockholm together

Through strong collaborations, we develop Stockholm. When companies, organisations and the city meet, solutions are created that strengthen the business community, drive innovation and contribute to a sustainable and competitive city. Here you will find an overview of the forums and partnerships where this work takes place – and how you as an actor can be part of this development.

Growing Stockholm together

Stockholm is a city driven forward by collaboration. Through the city's forums, networks and partnerships, arenas are created where companies and other actors can meet, share knowledge and contribute to common development.

Here we gather the initiatives where the city, the business community and civil society work side by side – from skills supply and sustainability to innovation, trade and urban development.

Some forums are open for membership, while others target specific actors within their respective fields. Regardless of which forum you participate in, the goal is the same: to strengthen Stockholm's attractiveness, improve conditions for business and drive sustainable development for the entire city.

Forums such as the Startup Forum, the Trade Forum and the Property Owners' Network create arenas for dialogue, knowledge exchange and joint efforts for a strong and sustainable Stockholm.
