Sustainable Business Hub is a leading cluster organization based in southern Sweden, dedicated to fostering the development of smart, sustainable cities. We provide a neutral platform that brings together businesses, municipalities, and academic institutions to accelerate green innovation and create new business opportunities.

 

OUR FOCUS AREAS

We specialize in three key areas that are critical to the green transition: sustainable energy, climate adaptation, and circular resource management. Through our leadership and participation in international projects, we work closely with municipalities, companies, and academic partners to drive progress in these fields.

 

1. SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

Our expertise in sustainable energy is extensive, supported by a wide network of members actively involved in this sector. Over the years, we’ve led various projects, including initiatives focused on low-temperature district heating and innovative energy systems in the Öresund region.

​

Currently, we are engaged in cutting-edge projects that explore renewable energy storage, digital energy planning, energy flexibility, and solar power solutions. A notable example is our work in Malmö’s Northern Harbour, where we are developing sustainable energy system solutions.

​

2. CLIMATE ADAPTATION

We are committed to advancing climate adaptation strategies that promote blue-green, or nature-based, solutions in urban areas. Through the ARCADIA project, we are creating a regional partnership aimed at enhancing resilience against climate change by leveraging blue-green infrastructure.

​

One of our standout initiatives is the Blue Green City Lab, a nationally recognized platform for the promotion and development of nature-based solutions. Over the years, it has led to the creation of several blue-green demonstration sites in Malmö, showcasing the practical benefits of such solutions in real-world environments.

​

3. CIRCULAR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Our expertise in circular resource management is particularly strong in the areas of biogas and biochar. Together with our members, we are exploring innovative ways to transform municipal biomass waste into high-value products like building materials, biogas, and biochar.

​

We are also focused on textile and plastic recycling, working through collaborations like a Danish-Swedish initiative where municipalities and the waste industry join forces with entrepreneurs to develop new products from recycled textiles. Furthermore, we investigate how public procurement can be leveraged as a tool to increase circularity and achieve environmental goals.

 

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

Sustainable Business Hub has always been active in international collaborations, partnering with organizations across the globe to accelerate green innovations. We regularly host international delegations in Sweden, showcasing the best solutions in sustainable development. Through our involvement with the International Cleantech Network (ICN), we maintain a close working relationship with clean tech clusters worldwide, further expanding our reach and impact.​
