Skåne developing with innovation arenas and clusters

New products and the services of the future are being developed with initiatives such as Media Evolution, Mobile Heights and the Skåne Food Innovation Network. Read about the companies that have grown thanks to Skåne's innovation arenas.

There are a number of innovation arenas in Skåne in which companies in related sectors co-operate. The aim is to increase knowledge about each other's operations and to see potential for new collaborations, products and growth opportunities. The collaboration is organised by a cluster organisation, the main purpose of which is to create added value for all those involved.

Region Skåne is working with business as well as universities and university colleges to create cluster initiatives that can lead to long-term, innovation-based growth in the region. There are now clusters in the Food, Life Science, IT, Mobile Media, Environmental Engineering and Packaging sectors. All seven clusters are considered to be extremely competitive from a global perspective.

Read more about the various innovation arenas below:

Media Evolution is a media cluster that has attracted considerable attention. It has 350 members, large and small, which are involved in everything from digital games and application development to films and the web. Close by is the building Media Evolution City, which offers offices, conference facilities and meeting places.

The Danish-Swedish Medicon Valley is one of the largest open innovation arenas within life science in Europe. They have more than 350 companies working within biotech, pharmaceuticals and medtech through their member organisation, Medicon Valley Alliance.

Mobile Heights focuses on wireless communication and mobile services. Their aim is to be world-leaders within research, innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of mobile communication. Close by is the Mobile Heights Business Center, which strengthens the entrepreneurs' potential for feedback and coaching.

The Malmö-based Packbridge is working to develop the next generation of packaging solutions. They have 122 member companies within the packaging and logistics sector.

Skåne Food Innovation Network is working to develop the food sector with both members and influential partners. They are involved in training, opinion issues and trainee programmes.

Sustainable Business Hub is Sweden's largest network within cleantech with more than 100 members, and it is working to help environmental companies to start up and to operate.

Resilient Regions Association is a cluster for companies in the field of security. Their aim is to create the market's best adapted solutions within training and exercises in respect of security in society.
