A SNAPSHOT OF MALMÖ

More than 160,000 people work in Malmö and new jobs are created in the city every day. These opportunities are generated by companies already here, businesses that are moving in and new firms that are starting out. Together they feed a thriving business sector and form a solid platform for contin- ued expansion.

Without sustainable growth we cannot offer stimulating employment to our growing population. In 2014 the number of people living in Malmö grew for the 30th consecutive year. On current forecasts, we will have more than 350,000 residents within a few years.

This makes it all the more important that we work to develop the city and promote sustainable, inclusive growth. Our collabora-tion with Copenhagen and nearby muni-cipalities is helping to develop a common labour market served by first-class transport

and infrastructure, so everyone can get easily to and from work wherever they live in the region.

An exciting nationwide project – the National Negotiation on Housing and Infrastructure – promises to make things even better. One of Sweden’s biggest ever infrastructure projects, this venture will connect the country’s three largest cities via a new high-speed rail network.

The project will enable people to com-mute from Stockholm to Malmö in around two-and-a-half hours. It creates a golden opportunity for us and the entire region to achieve sustainable growth and a strong housing market, for the benefit of people and businesses alike.

Together, we are working hard to be a city at the cutting edge. A modern city that people choose to visit, live and work in.

TWO NEW MAJOR RESEARCH FACILITIES Both centres are being built in Lund, 20 km north of Malmö. The MAX IV and European Spallation Source (ESS) projects will offer an array of new research opportunities, creating new jobs and fuelling regional growth.

MAX IV is a synchrotron light laboratory that will be a resource for 2,000 scientists from worldwide every year. It is due to open in mid-2016.

The ESS will be the world’s most powerful neutron source for materials research. It is a partnership between 17 European states and will open in 2019.

UNDERGROUND LINK BETWEEN MALMÖ AND COPENHAGEN? An undersea metro link would put Malmö and Copenhagen just 20 minutes apart. A metro would ease pressure on the Öresund Bridge, which is projected to see increased goods traffic when the Fehmarn-belt Tunnel opens, and promote increased cross-border integration.

Phase two of the feasibility study is complete and the City of Malmö and Copenhagen City Council are applying for phase three EU funding. Phase three will examine suitable technologies based on functionality, environmental impact and cost. If approved, the metro link could be complete by about 2030.

A TUNNEL BETWEEN DENMARK AND GERMANY Construction of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel will connect Denmark and Germany and the project is scheduled for completion in 2024. As the first terrestrial link between Scandinavia and the European continent, the tunnel will substantially reduce current travelling times. Like the Öresund Bridge, a key driving force for regional integration, and the expansive Öresund region, the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel is expected to encourage the emergence of a new cross-border region.

The Öresund region is the Nordic region’s largest and most densely populated area. It straddles Sweden and Denmark and links them via the Öresund Bridge, which opened in July 2000. The 16-km link connects Malmö and the Danish capital Copenhagen.

CONTINUING TO GROWThe completion in 2024 of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel linking Denmark and Germany will help the region to become a highly competitive economic powerhouse. Transport and commuting times will shrink and the tunnel will benefit regional integration, growth, jobs, tourism, research and development and culture.

This government initiative is one of Sweden’s largest-ever infrastructure projects. It envisages the construction of new high-speed rail links between Stockholm and Gothenburg and Stockholm and Malmo, cutting journey times between each city and the capital to two and two-and-a-half hours respectively. The project will also improve public transport in the three cities and promote house building.

Improved links between Sweden’s three main metropolitan areas will create a golden opportunity for Malmö and the region to achieve sustainable growth and develop its housing stock. Benefits will also be felt in the labour market and regional business and by the environment. Negotiations will begin in 2016, leading to a signed agreement the following year.

Commuting in both directions has risen over the years and contributed to greater mobility within the region

Malmö is located in a region where everything is close by. Distances are short and getting around is easy

Large local labour markets promote greater flexibility, benefiting businesses and citizens alike. Companies are better able to find the skills they need, while individuals enjoy greater choice of employers and careers

Public transport is excellent and improved further in December 2010 with the opening of the City Tunnel

PROFILE AREASMalmö focuses on a number of profile areas in a business context. These are areas where the city sees particular strengths in terms of job creation and growth.

Read more at www.malmobusiness.com under Profile Areas.

HOSPITALITY INDUSTRYMalmö Tourism’s prime objective is to attract more visitors to the city. Tourism generates revenue and employment opportunities in the hospitality industry – a sector that is a key driver of job creation and economic growth. Malmö Tourism works proactively to showcase Malmö’s attractions and to enhance the city’s tourist offering.

ñ The opening in 2015 of Malmö Live – an exciting new cultural and congress centre – extends the city’s pulling power

ñ Malmö’s hospitality industry is growing rapidly, with the number of hotel rooms due to grow by 27% in the coming year

ñ Hospitality is a key component of Malmö’s retail trade. More than 20% of visitor spending is in the city’s shops

CLEANTECHMalmö aspires to being a cleantech city, with a unique profile in environmental technology rooted in economic, social and environmental sustainability. The city council works with businesses, the university and other players to create an attractive place in which to start, run and develop enterprises in the cleantech field.

The City of Malmö channels its efforts in this area through Malmö Cleantech City. Here the emphasis is on offering networking events, test bed facilities and a physical meeting point to create business oppor-tunities and drive skills and technology development.

ñ Cleantech Scandinavia’s annual event – Cleantech Capital Day – was held in Malmö in 2015

ñ On the start-up front, we see a clear trend towards small, smart, low-capital solutions aimed at multiple areas, industries and customers

ñ On the investment side there has been a shift from private equity funds to industrial investors with a long-term strategic interest

RETAILMalmö will continue to evolve and grow as a regional centre for retail and retail tourism. The retail sector has expanded strongly in the last decade and today employs around 20 percent of all retail workers in Skåne. A growing population will drive further expan-sion in this sector, helped by an attractive

Malmö is flourishing and monitors its pro-gress through 10 key indicators. Its positive performance was rewarded with the Growth Municipality of the Year Award in 2009.*

* Awarded by “Arena för Tillväxt” and SWECO EuroFutures

GROWTH

OVERNIGHT STAYS COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET ñ Malmö continues to grow in popularity

as a visitor destination. The 1,406,769 overnight stays recorded in hotels and youth hostels in 2014 was an increase of 105,051, or 8%, from the previous year

ñ Swedish visitors accounted for 73% of overnight stays and international visitors the remainder. Most international visitors were from Germany, followed by Denmark, the UK and Norway

ñ Hotel occupancy averaged 65% in 2014 (60% in 2013). The occupancy rate was 71% on Mondays to Thursdays and 57% on Fridays to Sundays

ñ Some 811 meetings and conferences with at least 50 delegates were held in Malmö in 2014

ñ Malmö’s new cruise terminal at Friham-nen opened in 2013, complete with a pedestrian and cycle path to improve access between the terminal and the city centre

ñ Twelve cruise ships, carrying a total of 32,609 passengers, docked in Malmö in 2014

ñ The vacancy rate rose from 7.5% to 9.5% in 2014. Prime rent levels for the Central Business District (CBD) increased to SEK 2,075 m2/yr from SEK 2,000 the previous year

ñ Properties close to the city’s stations are popular, especially among businesses. Good public transport connections have boosted the Triangeln area

ñ Over the last two to three years we have seen a decline in the city centre retail trade. However, a rebound has begun and demand for retail property in central locations along the main pedestrian street rose somewhat in 2014

ñ Activity-based offices are becoming more popular and property owners in Malmö are increasingly adapting office space to offer greater diversity in terms of size, design, fittings and aspect. This allows tenants to customise their physical environment to suit their chosen line of work

ñ In Hyllie the emphasis is on new builds targeted at companies drawn by the area’s location and public transport links

ñ In 2014 a zoning plan was agreed for the Northern Harbour and the develop-ment of 750,000 m2 of land at Malmö Industrial Park

HOUSING CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE UNEMPLOYMENT ñ In 2014 construction of 1,880 homes

began, while work was completed on more than 1,000 homes. Forty per cent of completed homes and around 30% of those under construction were under contract to MKB, a municipal housing company owned by the City of Malmö

ñ Of properties under construction and completed, the ratio of leasehold dwellings was 69% and 74% respectively, which is higher than usual

ñ Most new residential builds were in Hyllie and the Western Harbour and Limhamn harbour areas. Residential construction is in full swing in Hyllie and around 300 homes will be built there annually in the next few years

ñ Housing construction will be concen- trated to three areas in particular in the next few years: Western Harbour–Varvsstaden–Nyhamnen, Hyllie–Holma–Kroksbäck, and Norra Sorgenfri–Rosengård

ñ Permits were issued for 3,100 new homes under new zoning arrangements in 2014

ñ Residential construction takes place nowadays under market conditions. However, housing construction has failed to keep pace with the expansion of Malmö’s population even during periods of economic growth

ñ Malmö had a workforce of 155,564 people in 2014, an increase of 768, or 0.5%, from the prior year

ñ The autumn of 2011 saw employment begin to pick up again after several years of stagnation in the wake of the global financial crisis. Employment has since increased steadily and is now at a record high

ñ In 2014 employment increased in the automotive, construction, waste mana-gement and financial services sectors, with decreases recorded in the travel service and telecommunications sectors

ñ The largest increase was among Swedish privately owned business groups, followed by the municipal sector. The legal forms of enterprise that showed the strongest growth were limited liability companies and non-profit organisations

ñ The workforce has risen by 20% in 10 years. A long-term upward trend can be seen in the business service, IT, software consulting, hotel and restaurant, education and training, and retail sectors

ñ In 2014 unemployment fell slightly in Skåne and Malmö and the number of lay-offs also dropped. The decrease was minimal compared to the country as whole and the rate of decrease was also slower, in spite of strong demand for labour

ñ Unemployment in Malmö was unchanged from the previous year at 14.9%. The unemployment rate for people aged 18 to 24 fell from 24.5% to 23.3%. An average of 21,207 people were registe-red with the Public Employment Office, 3,815 of them in the 18–24 age bracket

ñ Unemployment was higher among males (16.6%) than among females (13.2%). The disparity was even higher among young people (27.9% for males and 18.8% for females). There are major differences in the unemployment rate among different demographic groups – higher among young people and people born abroad and also higher among men than women across all groups

ñ Unemployment was high in Malmö compared to other large Swedish cities. In Gothenburg the rate was 8.7% and in Stockholm 6.6% (among people registe-red for work aged 16 to 64)

with the Public Employment Office in 2014, an increase of 22% from the previous year

ñ On average, 89 new vacancies were reported daily during the year

ñ In the wake of the financial crisis, the number of new vacancies rose in 2010 and 2011, only to fall again in the second half of 2012. However, a strong increase in 2014 lifted vacancies to a new high level

ñ Strong increases were seen during the year in the following areas: energy and environment; industry, property rental and management, and travel and support services

ñ Fewer vacancies were reported in the following areas during the year: public sector, retail, and hotels and restaurants

ñ In the last 10 years new vacancies have almost doubled. The biggest percen-tage increases have been seen in the following areas: culture, entertainment, leisure, other services, construction, transport and warehousing. Vacancies in retail fell during this period

An average of around 2,500 new businesses were created annually in the last decade. In 2014, eight companies were established every day

ñ Malmö gained 2,845 business start-ups in 2014. This was 2% fewer than in 2013 but still a very high level by historic standards. Stockholm, Gothenburg and Sweden as a whole showed respective gains of 7%, 2% and 4%.

ñ Some 58% of the start-ups had sole proprietor status and 37% were limited companies. The ratio of limited compa-nies continued to grow

ñ New start-ups employed 3,346 people (around 1.2 per company)

ñ The percentage increase in business start-ups was greatest in the transport and warehousing and culture, entertain-ment and leisure industries

ñ A total of 13.7 companies per 1,000 pe-ople were launched in 2014, compared to 18.5 in Stockholm, 13.0 in Gothenburg and 11.9 in Sweden as a whole. There is an entrepreneurial spirit in Malmö and the city has figured prominently in the national business start-up rankings for a number of years

Seven new companies were started on average every year in the last decade for every business that went bankrupt

ñ Approx. 330 bankruptcies per year and fewer than one per day on average in last 10 years

ñ Malmö recorded 401 bankruptcies in 2014, 3% fewer than in 2013. After increasing for several successive years, bankruptcies are falling again in Stock-holm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Sweden as a whole

ñ Bankruptcies are recorded in most sectors. Numbers have fallen especially in the security, property management, office services, retail, and transport and warehousing sectors. A significant increase was seen in the construction sector, while hotels and restaurants also saw higher numbers of bankruptcies

ñ Limited companies accounted for the increase in bankruptcies in prior years and also for the decrease in 2014

ñ Companies with 10–19 and 1–4 em- ployees saw a decrease in bankruptcies, while companies with 20–49 employees recorded an increase

INDUSTRIAL INVESTMENT TURNOVER ñ Industrial investment in Malmö rose to

SEK 730 million in 2014, a 23% increase on the previous year. The biggest percentage increase was in construction and plant. The figure for 2014 exceeded the forecast level by SEK 90 million

ñ Industrial investment in Sweden declined by 2% in 2014 compared to the previous year. The largest volume increases were in the food and chemicals industries. Investment was flat in steel and electronics industries and decreased in the wood products, mining and transport industries

ñ The 2015 forecast for Malmö suggests investment will rise again, to SEK 867 million. This forecast was upgraded early in 2015

ñ For Sweden as a whole, the 2015 forecast is slightly above last year’s level and was also upgraded early in the year

ñ Turnover totalled SEK 264 billion in 2014, the highest level during the recording period and up 1.4% on 2013

ñ After several years of strong growth, turnover fell in 2009 and 2010 due to the economic slowdown. Turnover has since recovered in Malmö and is now higher than in the peak years of 2006 to 2008

ñ In the last 10 years, turnover in Malmö has increased by 34%

ñ Two sectors saw large percentage increases in turnover in 2014: beverages and construction

ñ Other sectors that saw large turnover rises were pharmaceuticals, waste management and agribusiness

ñ Three sectors in which turnover dropped significantly in 2014 were machinery manufacturing, construction contracting and telecommunications

CORPORATE HQSMalmö is a place of economic growth and optimism – and an attractive place for business start-ups. The city’s proximity to Copenhagen is a major plus, as is its excel-lent infrastructure, which includes a rapid transit link to Copenhagen International Airport. The city has a highly skilled workforce and can offer the service and auxiliary services that a corporate head- quarters needs.

ñ Head office establishments will ideally be concentrated to the expanding Western Harbour and Hyllie areas, except for businesses that need to prioritise a city centre location

ñ Companies including Algo Chemicals AB, Oatly, Perstorp, Peugeot and Söder-bergföretagen moved their corporate HQs to Malmö in 2014

LIFE SCIENCESThe prime long-term objective is to en-hance the area’s attractiveness and put life sciences in Malmö on the map by hosting unique events to leverage the region’s main strengths.

ñ Medeon Science Park, a growing cluster of 40 or so life science businesses

ñ Nordic Centre for Sustainable Health Care, a new arena for sustainable healthcare

LOGISTICSMalmö Industrial Park is one of the most attractive locations in Northern Europe for companies looking for manufacturing, processing and logistics facilities. Its strategic location makes it easy to distribute incoming and outgoing flows of ship, rail and road freight and attracts companies looking for land for trimodal transport and processing operations with easy port access.

ñ Malmö Industrial Park has 750,000 m2 of undeveloped land that will be upgra-ded to create space for new business operations

ñ Skanska has reserved land in the area to build a new type of facility known as a cubic depot

ñ Prologis has also reserved a plot of 100,000 m2 and plans to build a logistics centre in the area

city centre, large retail facilities, congress centres and exhibition halls, and a variety of events and attractions.

ñ The Nordic eCommerce Summit was held in Malmö for the first time in 2014 and will be so again on 4–5 November 2015

ñ A report into measures to promote the city centre retail trade was published in 2014, with the findings to be imple-mented in 2015

ñ Malmö continues to gain ground as a shopping destination for Swedish and Danish tourists alike

CREATIVE INDUSTRIESInvestments in film, television, gaming, web, mobile platforms, design and advertising have created excellent potential for creative industries in Malmö. Video applications in new media and on digital platforms like mobile phones and tablets offer excellent growth potential. The vision is of an expan-sive centre that unites business, research and higher education organisations in generating growth at international level.

ñ Malmö can rightfully call itself a film city, having become a location of choice for documentary and short, feature and children’s film production

ñ The vision is for Malmö to become a key city for design

ñ Malmö also aims to become the engine for Europe’s leading region in digital game development, training and research

Malmö has a thriving business sector and a spirit of optimism. The city experienced a difficult time in the 1990s amid industrial decline and layoffs. Two key decisions – to build Malmö University (1998) and the Öre-sund Bridge (2000) helped turn the tide and saw Malmö transition from industrial city to knowledge centre.

“Other business services” includes legal, financial, architectural and technical consulting, advertising and market research, recruitment, call centres, cleaning and other business consulting services

As of 2009 data are shown according to a new sector classification, which explains the gaps in the graphs. Even in cases where the sector name has remained unchanged, for instance manufacturing, the underlying definition may have changed. It is there-fore not possible to compare the old and new classifications on a like-for-like basis. We have opted to retain and show the old definitions to make it easier to assess the long-term trend.

Positive trends can be seen in business services, IT and computer consulting,

hotels and restaurants, education, and retail

Negative trends can be observed in manufacturing and agriculture,

forestry and fishing

Changes in sector classification make it impossible to offer a detailed long-term analysis. We can only

summarise the overall trend in a few short comments
