Green BoCity Stockholm

The vision of Green BoStad Stockholm is to form cross-sectoral collaboration within quadruple helix with the goals of creating growth in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) and to actively contribute to a regional low-carbon economy and reduced segregation. By clearing barriers to SME, highlighting examples, strengthening processes and building knowledge, Green BoStad will influence the enormous force in the housing sector, thereby contributing to long-term, low-carbon and sustainable urban development. GrönBoStad aims to contribute to the Stockholm region’s sustainable urban development and to support the transition to a low-cost economy by eliminating barriers to the growth of SMEs. Business opportunities will be created through activities carried out within the housing sector in Greater Stockholm; in the following areas: new construction, conversion, renovation and temporary housing. The project will contribute to more demo and test beds, create conditions that enable companies to participate in innovation-oriented procurements. Municipalities and other clients will develop their procurement function so that they can set the right requirements to bring in new low-carbon technology and new environmentally friendly innovative materials into our homes. Furthermore, the project will create an arena for matchmaking with the aim of linking clients, concluding and suppliers, as well as providing advice and disseminating knowledge to SME companies and municipalities in sustainable urban development. By creating conditions for SMEs in a home market, conditions are also created for them to reach out on an export market. Green BoCity will create a platform to link, tickle and bridge existing projects in the Stockholm region. Through KTH, IVL, SUST and the County Administrative Board’s involvement, the region’s development projects will be able to be monitored and monitored. The ambition is to link projects that would otherwise not know each other and thus create exchanges of knowledge and experience in sustainable urban construction. In cases where the projects are seen as particularly important for the region’s development, Grön BoStad Stockholm will strive to establish collaborations. Among the cases already identified are Södertörn model, Fittja Peoples¿Palace in Botkyrka, Grow Smarter in Stockholm and IOU Design in Södertälje. Green BoStad Stockholm will create growth in innovative companies, gather large parts of the construction sector, attract relevant SMEs who want to participate (and can contribute) in the construction boom that is taking place, engage more female business leaders and innovators, connect several municipalities and its municipal housing companies and involve researchers and students. This assignment is not entirely within the current operations of each individual party, but is also necessary for the continued development of all parties and the sustainable development of the region. Grön BoStad is a similar strategic initiative to create the spatially balanced development in the Stockholm region that the operational programme wishes. The project strives to break the drop-pipe mentality that sometimes prevails within the respective organisations and brings together departments for community building, business collaboration, environmental technology, growth, climate and energy to tick, link and bridge existing initiatives. Examples of these existing networks, completed projects and ongoing interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and applied research are: Stockholm Cleantech, Sustainable Järva, Innovation Platform Sustainable Stockholm, ElectriCity and Hammarby Sjöstad 2.0, Stockholm Business Region Development Högdalen, 100Gruppen, Climate Pact, Strategic Innovation Agenda for Smart Sustainable Cities, Green Boost, etc. Extensive mobilisation work among these actors has been carried out through the pre-studies held in 2014 as well as a number of meetings, seminars and work meetings in 2015.
