After the successful first Peloton Smart Retro Innovation Camp in Lahti, Finland, our programme now moves into its second phase in Stockholm: the testing period.
Why Stockholm?
In 2005, the City of Stockholm launched the slogan “Stockholm, the Capital of Scandinavia”, pointing at the City’s ambition of establishing Stockholm as a commercial node, especially for cleantech, IT and knowledge industries. Stockholm was the first city to be awarded EU Green Capital status in 2010, year after being crowned Intelligent Community of the Year by the Intelligent Community Forum. The revised “Vision 2030” emphasizes the role of the City as a centre for the growing region and a motor for economic growth in the entire country. Also for the Stockholm region, growth, innovation and green development are top of the agenda, as can be seen in the overarching goals in the 2010 Stockholm regional development plan. Climate change is taken seriously, at least at a policy level where there are a number of strategic documents directed to curbing greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. But climate change is also seen as a business opportunity for the City as a whole, and for the variety of companies involved in the sustainability sector.
The innovation camp will take place on 21-22 January 2015 in Bagarmossen, Stockholm.
