2018: A Year in Review

From establishments to export deals, here are some of the highlights from the last year at Invest in Skåne.

We've recently kick-started what we are certain will be a great year for our organisation, Skåne and our partners around the world. There's no better time than now to look back on the many activities that made 2018 a positive one.

Results

This year Invest in Skåne achieved 64 results, consisting of 21 investments, and 40 partnership agreements and export results. Some of the standouts from the year include:

  • assisting Danish AAA game studio, IO Interactive, to open a studio in Malmö's DevHub. This marked the first foreign game studio establishment in Skåne.
  • connecting sister companies HealthyCo and First Class Brands of Sweden with new distributors in three different countries through our export services.
  • facilitating the signing of a distribution agreement worth EUR 2.8M between Skåne-based respiratory device company, Iconovo, and the Indian pharmaceutical company Intas Pharmaceuticals.

Celebrating a decade

Invest in Skåne celebrated its ten year anniversary in 2018, alongside all of our sister companies at Business Region Skåne. After operating for more than a decade, we've had the pleasure of being involved in over 190 investments and establishments here in the region, while also assisting a large range of local companies to secure over 240 agreements with international suppliers, manufacturers and distributors.

Where Sweden meets Denmark

Together with our counterparts at Copenhagen Capacity, we launched 5 digital marketing campaigns promoting the Greater Copenhagen metropolitan region towards international business leaders and talents. As a direct result of the campaigns, 7 international talents have moved to Skåne, eventually contributing a minimum of DKK 720 000 to public finances*. Invest in Skåne continues to work closely with all business contacts who, via the campaigns, have indicated an interest in learning more about the benefits of being located in our dynamic region.

The 24th annual Bio Europe conference took place in Greater Copenhagen this past November, making it the first time it was held outside of Germany or Austria. Invest in Skåne served as an official host together with partner organisation, Copenhagen Capacity.

The Year Ahead

The next twelve months are poised to present new opportunities for both trade and investment in Skåne. Invest in Skåne will be present at several major trade fairs, including the upcoming Hannover Messe and Nordic Life Science Days, of which Skåne is the regional host. We will continue to meet our partners and clients both out in the world, and right here at home.

2019 will also mark a closer partnership with neighbouring Swedish region Blekinge as we carry out a newly announced EU-financed project, whose main aim is to increase economic growth in southern Sweden.

To follow our journey in the year ahead, be sure to check out our social media channels as well as our website, investinskane.com.
