Improving Business Support and Permits for Stockholm

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) contends that new business creation has declined and the business climate in Stockholm has worsened. He proposes moving new business advisory services back to Stockholm Business Region from the Labour Market Committee and investigating a consolidated permit center for businesses. The City Executive Board disagrees that the business climate has deteriorated, highlighting the development of advisory services through the Entreprenör Stockholm initiative, which focuses on green transition, social entrepreneurship, and in-demand professions. They find this new model more targeted and fiscally responsible, recommending the motion be addressed by referring to existing business promotion efforts.
