Focus on the region's continued development
As our entire operations are based here, it is crucial for us that the region continues to develop in a positive way. Of course, we help promote development and job-creation through our core business – developing and managing properties. However, we are also involved in developments in many other ways. We work actively to create new infrastructure and we collaborate with the business community, municipalities and the region.
We also sponsor initiatives that promote employment, education, and inclusion. Our goal is for the majority of our sponsorship activities to have a clear societal focus. More than 50% of our sponsorships go to local organizations that, through their work or specific projects, support youth learning, increase employment opportunities, or promote equality and combat discrimination.
Activities and initiatives that we sponsor
Where people feel good and are given the opportunity to grow, companies grow. In our world, we constantly encounter evidence that it is by creating the right conditions for people that we build a sustainable future. This is why we at Wihlborgs work long-term with our properties and tenants, but also why we get involved in what is happening in our surroundings and in our society.
Regional and urban development
The development of new infrastructure is vital for business and employment. We are involved in Öresundsmetro Executive, which promotes the idea of a metro between Malmö and Copenhagen, as well as in efforts to establish a fixed link between Helsingborg and Helsingør. Together with the City of Helsingborg, we have developed a joint proposal for the future development of the area around Helsingborg Central Station. We are also a partner of H22 – the city expo that in 2022 showcased solutions for a smarter and more sustainable city.
Through our partnerships with Øresundsinstituttet and The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Southern Sweden, we gain insights into the region and support their development efforts.
Business community development
The innovation and business climate in the Öresund region is important to both Wihlborgs and the region’s overall development. To help strengthen it, we support Ideon Science Park and Medeon Science Park, where we also own properties. We are also involved in industry hubs such as Media Evolution Center in Malmö and Hetch in Helsingborg – environments where new ideas and companies can grow. We are also active and contribute with support to new business centers, city cooperation and similar organizations in our cities.
Since 2019, we have been a partner of the Malmö Business Community Gala, which highlights and celebrates the city’s companies. Since 2020, we have also collaborated with Navet on "Better business days" – an event aimed at inspiring a more sustainable and stronger Öresund region.
