A City Set to Glow

The Venue: Slagthuset

Once Malmö’s slaughterhouse. Now a beacon for ideas. Space for 800+ bright minds.

The City

We’ll spotlight the spaces and people of Malmö’s impact ecosystem throughout the pre-events and programme. That starts with the Malmö Generate District, an environment and ecosystem for all companies, researchers and public organisations that work with innovation, creativity and sustainable transition. We’ll also show how the city’s universities and sustainable food systems set Malmö apart.

Stay tuned for the event guide, local impact stories and more from Malmö.

Welcome to Malmö!

Malmö – in the far south of Sweden – is the third largest city in the country after Stockholm and Gothenburg. A swirl of diversity, a mishmash of old and new, Malmö is one of the most eclectic cities in Scandinavia. A spiraling skyscraper looms above bustling centuries-old squares, and unassuming brick facades house a treasure of modern artistic creations. Renowned for its sustainable transition, Malmö is also acclaimed for its cultural scene, its restaurants at the forefront of gastronomy and its innovative architecture. The city is full of creative people in the fields of design, theatre, art and music – all of which are worth experiencing in person. If you get there early, here are a few things to check out, with a special focus on sustainability:

>Eating and drinking – food diversity reflects the city’s diversity, with 186 languages spoken

>Flea markets, vintage and antiquities
