Malmö Establishes Innovation District for Startup Growth

Malmö will enhance its support system for early-stage companies, aiming to boost sustainable economic growth. The city announced the Malmö Generate District on December 16, 2025, to provide resources for startups. This initiative seeks to strengthen Malmö's position as a national and international hub for both innovation and game development. The Malmö Generate District will house Minc and Game Habitat at Isbergs gata 2. The location provides modern facilities designed to meet their operational needs. Minc plans to strengthen Malmö's future economy and culture through its incubator and accelerator programs. Game Habitat will temporarily relocate to Minc in April 2026 before joining Media Evolution at the new district. Game Habitat's co-location with Minc and Media Evolution aims to leverage regional expertise in the gaming sector. The collaboration intends to enhance the overall capacity for innovation. The ecosystem already includes approximately 150 companies and organizations that impact Malmö's startup environment. The city expects the new district to further energize the startup landscape and attract international attention.
