Science Week: Innovative arenas create collaboration for the city of the future
Stockholm is growing and we want a smart city with knowledge-intensive industry that is sustainable. In a panel discussion during Science Week on February 1, we discuss how innovative neutral arenas are central to the development of the smart and knowledge-intensive city.
Why is organized cooperation needed and how can it be a catalyst for development? It is said that cooperation is necessary to find sustainable, functioning solutions, but how does it work in practice? How does it happen when academia, society and business work together for the future. What are the pitfalls and what creates success?

Anton Västberg, Director of Development, Region Stockholm.
