Abstract

This TN provides guidance on how to leverage the case on Gothenburg's economic evolution and the role of the regional economic development agency in this process. Gothenburg is an old industrial city that has been hit by a number of deep shocks in its history. Its core automotive industry is now facing the transition to e-mobility. The region has so far done quite well, and its economy is performing strongly. BRG, the regional economic development agency, is looking at its role in supporting these dynamics, having limited financial resources but many relationships to build on.
