Boosting Business: Council Debate on City's Entrepreneurship Approach

Councilman Dennis Wedin (M) believes Stockholm needs more new businesses and that the city's business climate has worsened. He proposes Stockholm Business Region regain responsibility for new business advising and that the city investigate consolidating business supervision and permits into one unit. Governing Mayor Karin Wanngård disagrees on the business climate, stating the city's new model, Entrepreneur Stockholm, is more effective by initially focusing on green transition, social entrepreneurship, and shortage occupations for sustainable growth. She rejects Wedin's proposals.
