The city of Malmö has challenges with high unemployment and to integrate certain groups in the labour market, such as young people, people with no upper secondary school grades and non-Nordic born. At the same time, the city is in a region with high innovation, rich entrepreneurship and good communication opportunities between the cities. The collaboration organisation MalmöLund Region (MLR) operates in the region, where 12 municipalities work together on strategic issues, such as business issues. This project aims to find new, innovative forms of collaboration, procedures and ways of working within and between the municipalities in MLR in terms of increased growth with regard to business and employment. The project will help to strengthen the MLR perspective in the existing work and find ways to communicate the region’s strengths and potential. The project is a collaborative project between the City of Malmö, which is project owner, and Lund Municipality, Skurup Municipality and Invest in Skåne. The project has four main activities that run parallel throughout the project period. The first activity focuses on improved municipal services towards companies and the second on attracting more business establishments to the region. The third activity investigates how the supply of available skills can be systematically matched to the needs of business and smaller municipalities, both with a focus on manning short-term jobs that do not require higher education, as well as strengthening the access to highly educated localities. The fourth activity is focused on start-ups and aims to design better procedures and systems in MLR to capture and support people who want to start new businesses.
