The workshop is organised as part of the conference MEETING POINT URBAN MAGMA. The conference focuses on how a successful international business cluster can develop within cleantech for sustainable cities. Another conference focus is the important role industrial symbiosis—in harbours, industrial parks, and surrounding regions—can have in advancing sustainable cities and business clusters. The conference is arranged by Urban Magma, the City of Malmö, E-harbours, Union of the Baltic Cities, and Sustainable Business Hub.
