A summary from the City Office, City of Malmö 2014
A SNAPSHOT OF MALMÖ There has never been such a large workforce in Malmö as now. Almost 160,000 people have jobs in the city. Of these, around 60,000 commute to work in Malmö and some 30,000 commute from Malmö to work in another municipality. So there are nearly 100,000 people on the move in and around Malmö every morning and evening on their way to or from work. Like a substantionally large Swedish city. Then there are almost 15,000 people who commute over the Öresund Bridge every day. Which means commuting to work is a natural part of life for many people in the region. Good communications and short distances make it easy to cross municipal boundaries. It is becoming clearer all the time that we have a single labour market in the region.
When the Fehmarn belt tunnel, which will be a fixed link between Denmark and Germany, is completed in a few years’ time, it will open the way for a particularly competitive extended region. Travel and transport times will drop significantly and we will see positive effects on growth, jobs, tourism, research and culture. There is also talk of an Öresund Metro between Malmö and Copenhagen. With a tunnel under the sound, the journey between the cities would take around 15 minutes. This would help to increase everyday integration across the water. A fine scenario for the future. Naturally, this calls for our growth to be sustainable and inclusive. Every day we strive to make Malmö a great city in which to live and work.
Pehr Andersson Director, Trade and Industry Agency, City of Malmö

THE REGION
A CITY IN TRANSITION Interest in Malmö is high and there is a lot of activity in the city. Many actors see Malmö’s potential and want to be involved and invest in Malmö’s future.

MAX IV
MAX IV is a synchrotron radiation laboratory. 2,000 researchers from around the world are expected to use the facility each year. Opening in 2016.
A TUNNEL BETWEEN DENMARK AND GERMANY The Fehmarn belt tunnel will be constructed between Denmark and Germany and it is estimated that it will be completed in 2021. The tunnel will link Scandinavia with the continent and will reduce travel times considerably. The Öresund Bridge has played an important role in integration and growth in the Öresund region and it is forecasted that the tunnel will have a similar significance for a new competitive, extended economic region. METRO BETWEEN MALMÖ AND COPENHAGEN? Via a tunnel under the Öresund strait, the metro trip will take around 15 minutes. A metro would relieve the Öresund Bridge, which is expected to receive increased goods traffic when the fixed link between Denmark and Germany is completed. The metro is also expected to help to increase everyday integration across the water. The second phase of the feasibility study started in January 2014, with Malmö and Copenhagen examining four areas in more detail. If the project gets the go-ahead, the metro could start operating around 2030.

THE REGION
THE ÖRESUND REGION The Öresund region is the largest and most densely populated metropolitan area in the Nordic countries. The Öresund region covers parts of two countries, Sweden and Denmark, and travel between the two is easy via the Öresund Bridge, which was opened on 1 July 2000. The 16-kilometre link runs between Malmö and Copenhagen.
The Öresund region includes Skåne in Sweden and Zealand, Møn, Lolland-Falster and Bornholm in Denmark

THE ÖRESUND REGION IS GROWING INTO A MAJOR ECONOMIC REGION When the Fehmarn belt tunnel, a fixed link between Denmark and Germany, is completed in 2021, it will open the way for a competitive extended region. Travel and transport times will reduce significantly and positive effects are expected in terms of integration, growth, the number of jobs, tourism, research and culture. CLOSE COLLABORATION ACROSS THE STRAIT In Malmö’s new structure plan and Copenhagen’s new ‘municipality plan’, the cities describe their joint role as engines for regional development. Development strategies and areas are described jointly. These two politically adopted plans signal the close collaboration between the two cities, and that they should be seen in a single context by citizens and industry alike.

GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE Copenhagen International Airport (Kastrup) is easily accessible by car or rail. The rail trip takes 21 minutes from Malmö Central Station Trains from Malmö, to Copenhagen Airport and to the city centre, depart every 10 minutes during rush hours. At other times, trains depart every 20 minutes
The proximity to a well-developed road and railway network makes it easy to transport goods and people, both within Sweden and to Scandinavia and Europe
The new City Tunnel opened in 2010 and has given Malmö an improved infrastructure and two new stations. Commuting times for several routes were shortened and ease of movement in the region was further increased
Malmö is home to one of Sweden’s largest cargo ports. It is a combined cargo and passenger harbour. A comprehensive expansion project has recently been carried out with new areas, terminals and a logistics centre
The city has two ring roads (the Outer and Inner Ring Road), which make efficient logistics possible
PORT OF MALMÖ
Malmö Airport is located 30 km to the east of the city. An airport bus is available, which takes 40 minutes

The number of employees increased by 1,560 or 1.0% compared to the previous year ´ After the summer of 2011, the trend in the number of employees started to curve upwards again after a year at a constant level because of economic unrest in Europe and the world. Since then it has risen progressively and it is now at its highest level to date ´ In the last year, there has been an increase in the electronics industry, hotels and restaurants and in leasing companies. There has been a drop within ‘advertising and marketing’ and within ‘building contractors’ ´ Private Swedish companies excl. Groups show the biggest increase. The number of employees in municipal facilities has decreased. Limited companies are the legal form that has increased the most ´ The number of employees has increased by 21% in 10 years. A positive long-term development can be noted within business services, IT and computer consultants, hotels and restaurants, education and commerce
Number of employees = daytime population, i.e. the number of people employed in Malmö (excl. owners of sole proprietorships) who earned at least one basic amount per year, or worked as temporary employees for more than 3 months

New company = completely new start-up, or business resumed after at least two years lying dormant From 2010, the statistics are based on registration data instead of the direct collection of information. New activation criteria were applied, and a new calculation basis for those employed.
´ The financial crisis in 2008 resulted in a large number of bankruptcies in 2009. The number of bankruptcies fell slightly in the years following the crisis, but it went up again in 2013 ´ 412 bankruptcies in Malmö in 2013, which is a sharp increase. In Malmö, Gothenburg and Sweden as a whole, the number of bankruptcies is rising again, while Stockholm is largely unchanged ´ The bankruptcies occur within many industries. Big increases from the previous year can be seen in ‘security, property management and office services’, ‘transport and warehousing’ and commerce. In some sectors, the number of bankruptcies has gone down, e.g. in ‘culture, entertainment and recreation’, and ‘healthcare’ ´ In recent years, limited companies have been responsible for the increase. Limited companies have also accounted for the increase in the last year. The increase is greatest among companies with 0 to 19 employees

GROWTH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE Malmö has a flourishing commercial life with strong growth and belief in the future. In the 1990s, the city went through a tough period in which several industries closed down and the active workforce shrank. During this period, decisions were made including the foundation of Malmö University (established in 1998) and the construction of the Öresund Bridge (inaugurated in 2000). Two initiatives among many that have contributed to Malmö’s development from an industrial town into a knowledge city.
´ After a slight downturn in 2009, the workforce has increased again over the last three years and is now at an all-time high ´ A workforce of 161,172 was employed in Malmö ´ An increase of 1.8% compared to the previous year and an increase of 19% over 10 years ´ Over the last 10 years, it is primarily the sectors of business services and education that have increased. Manufacturing has decreased

INDUSTRY TREND (NO. OF EMPLOYEES) PERCENTAGE CHANGE 2009-2013 ´ The industries that show the largest percentage increase in the number of employees are ‘hotels and restaurants’ followed by ‘law, economics, science and technology’ and ‘civil authorities and defence’ ´ ‘Healthcare and social services, ‘transport and warehousing’ and ‘education’ also show an increase of more than 10% ´ Industries that show a decrease are ‘agriculture/forestry/fishing’, followed by ‘energy, water, waste’, ‘construction’, ‘manufacturing’, and ‘information and communication’
LONG-TERM TRENDS Because of changes in the division into industries, it is not possible to make any detailed long-term analysis, but only to summarise the overall development in a few short comments: ´ A positive long-term development can be noted within business services, IT and computer consultancies, hotels and restaurants, education and commerce ´ A downward trend can be seen within manufacturing and agriculture/forestry/fishing
From 2009, the data is shown according to the new division into industries. For this reason, there is a break in the time series in the graphs. Even in those cases where the industry name is the same, both before and after 2009, such as ‘manufacturing’, the underlying division may have changed. Therefore, the data for the new and old divisions into industries cannot be compared. We have chosen to retain and present the old definitions in order to give an impression of the long-term development.

COMMERCE
Malmö will continue to develop and grow as a regional centre for commerce and visitors. Commerce has experienced strong growth in the last 10 years and employs around 20% of all those working in the retail sector in Skåne. An increasing population in Malmö and the region is accompanied by increased demand. An attractive city, the major commercial centres in the town, conference and exhibition facilities, events and leisure activities will contribute to this. ´PHOTO: LEIF JOHANSSON X-RAY
HEAD OFFICES Malmö offers growth and belief in the future and is an attractive city in which to start a business. Its closeness to Copenhagen is a big attraction, along with the good infrastructure with Copenhagen Airport at its heart. Moreover, many key figures such as new company start-ups, new vacancies and revenue are on the increase. The big expansion areas are in Västra Hamnen and Hyllie. ´PHOTO: LEIF JOHANSSON X-RAY
CLEANTECH The City of Malmö aims to become a ‘cleantech city’ – a place with a unique environmental technology profile combining economic, social and ecological sustainability. Together with companies, the university and other actors, the municipality aims to create an attractive location to start up, operate and develop companies in the cleantech field in Malmö. Within the City of Malmö, this profile area is driven via Malmö Cleantech City.
CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
