Stockholm & the Archipelago – Presenting Partners
Marie Östblom, Head of Archipelago Development at Stockholm Business Region Ariane Bucquet Pousette, Head of Startup Ecosystem at Stockholm Business Region, and, welcome you on behalf of the City of Stockholm – with 30,014 reasons to explore!
Joining us are Jan and Hugo Pfister from Grinda Värdshus, Staffan Boija from RO on Gummerholmen, and Ulrika Hedbom from Sjö & Havsguiderna. Together, they represent the entrepreneurial spirit, local expertise and unique experiences that make the Stockholm Archipelago so special.
One highlight is a story of successful cross-border collaboration: the Helsinki-based tech company BOUT, which has established a long-term partnership with the archipelago and now works with 15 boat taxi operators in the region. A great example of how technology, entrepreneurship and local partnerships can create lasting value for the entire region.
