Research, partnerships & networks
For us, collaboration and networking are crucial in sustainability work. Together we drive development forward. Together we can go further.
In response to the national roadmap for a fossil-free Sweden by 2045, more than 160 affiliated actors in Malmö have developed a local roadmap to accelerate the climate transition of the building and construction sector. The goal is climate neutrality by 2030, and even higher by 2035, when Malmö's construction sector will be climate positive.
FOJAB has taken an active role in LMF30, the climate collaboration in the construction and real estate industry in Malmö. We run the working group for a more climate-smart use of materials and are active on the board of the organization's economic association. FOJAB also leads the corresponding working group within Klimatarena Stockholm, a collaborative initiative between industry, municipalities and academia that wants to increase the pace of climate change.
In addition to LFM30 and Klimatarena Stockholm, we are involved in a number of other networks and collaborations:
- Urban Academy
- Smart Built Environment
- CMB
- Sustainable Business Hub
- Solar Region Skåne
- The Association for Spatial Planning
- Sweden Green Building Council
- Movium, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
- Malmö Works - for sustainable travel to and from the workplace
Interdisciplinary collaborations allow us to share knowledge and help us to be constantly updated on the latest societal developments. Our ongoing research projects include:
- 3D printing in concrete - exploring how to integrate more functions into building components while reducing the carbon footprint
- Movement poetry - exploring how sports environments can be made more inclusive
- Chalmers Digital Twin Cities - development of large-scale digital twin technologies
- HyLite - exploring architecture and construction in an automated building industry
- SURE Kalmar - inclusive place development based on strategic foresight work
