The application is based on experiences and results from the Regional Fund project Development Northeast 2011-2013. The collaborative project aims to create conditions for green innovation and business development between city and country. Four local hubs in Angered and Norra Hisingen form the basis for collaboration between city, business, residents, associations and academia. In five test beds, together with the academy, new approaches are being tested to strengthen the ability to switch to a more low-carbon city linked to food, logistics, destination and business models.
