Through a broad collaboration between innovation support actors, business offices, destination companies and other important business promoters, more entrepreneurs in the North will receive support in their business development. The programme is aimed at businesses in the trade, hospitality and experience sectors with a trade component. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>- The collaboration that is now taking off gives us a fantastic opportunity to work with more Northern companies and to develop together,\" says Annakarin Nyberg, programme manager for eXpression Future Retail Lab. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After two years, the eXpression Future Retail Lab's catchment area is expanded to include coastal and coastal municipalities from \u00d6rnsk\u00f6ldsvik in the south to Lule\u00e5 in the north. This is made possible by an intensified cooperation between municipalities, traders, property owners, universities, destination companies and citizens.<\/p>\n<p>- We stand ready with a strong business development programme built on the knowledge we have gained from previous rounds and the broad expertise of our network. The opportunity to welcome a new group of committed and driven entrepreneurs and to expand cooperation in northern Sweden is important for these vulnerable sectors,\" says <strong>Annakarin Nyberg,\u00a0<\/strong>Programme Manager at eXpression Future Retail Lab.<\/p>\n<p>The Corona pandemic has changed the conditions for regional and local business support structures and has put considerable pressure on private companies. These pressurised industries clearly need strong support structures to cope with the rapid transition. The current development of the accelerator programme is partly a result of the deepened cooperation that Pite\u00e5 municipality and eXpression Ume\u00e5's owner, Ume\u00e5 University, have recently entered into - in which the cultural and creative industries are an explicit focus area.<\/p>\n<p>- Many cities and municipalities are currently facing major challenges that require new forms of cooperation between those of us who promote business and industry. The ongoing sectoral shifts that are taking place, accelerated by the pandemic, make this cooperation particularly urgent and important. Deepening the cooperation with eXpression Ume\u00e5 is a natural step for us, given the letter of intent we signed with Ume\u00e5 University,\" says <strong>Stefan<\/strong> <strong>Lundmark,<\/strong> business developer at Pite\u00e5 municipality. <\/p>\n<p>Applications for the next round of the programme are now open and the programme will start in August 2021 and run until March 2022.16 companies will have the opportunity to join a business development journey with industry experts, researchers, business developers and entrepreneurs. It is hoped that some meetings can take place physically, with the business incubator eXpression and Ume\u00e5 as a base. The programme is also adapted to be delivered digitally. <\/p>\n<p>The accelerator programme eXpression Future Retail Lab is an initiative between the Swedish Commerce Federation via the Merchants' Association Foundation and Ume\u00e5 municipality and is part-financed by EU structural funds. <\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information:<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>Annakarin Nyberg, Programme Manager eXpression Future Retail Lab<br \/><a href=\"mailto:annakarin.nyberg@expressionumea.se\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">annakarin.nyberg@expressionumea.se<br \/><\/a>070-667 94 43<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":15245,"template":"","class_list":["post-15244","pressmeddelande","type-pressmeddelande","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Uppm\u00e4rksammat aff\u00e4rsutvecklingsprogram ut\u00f6kar upptagningsomr\u00e5det i samarbete norrlandskommuner - eXpression Ume\u00e5<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/expressionumea.se\/en\/press-release\/uppmarksammat-affarsutvecklingsprogram-utokar-upptagningsomradet-i-samarbete-norrlandskommuner\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Uppm\u00e4rksammat aff\u00e4rsutvecklingsprogram ut\u00f6kar upptagningsomr\u00e5det i samarbete norrlandskommuner - eXpression Ume\u00e5\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"N\u00e4r eXpression Ume\u00e5s acceleratorprogram, Future Retail Lab, \u00f6ppnar ans\u00f6kan f\u00f6r tredje g\u00e5ngen ges f\u00f6retag fr\u00e5n hela norrlandskusten med kranskommuner m\u00f6jlighet att delta.
