Region Jönköping

Our vision is to foster the development of a sustainable region that offers excellent opportunities for attractive housing, employment, business, education, and personal growth. We aim to create a community with great communication networks, rich leisure and cultural activities, and an environment that promotes the highest standards of health and well-being for all residents.

The appeal of our region lies in the quality of life and work opportunities available across all local municipalities. This attractiveness is closely connected to our commitment to ecological sustainability. We are dedicated to ensuring ongoing access to clean air and water, efficient recycling systems, and reduced consumption. Protecting biodiversity is key to securing food production, providing spaces for recreation, and maintaining ecosystems that not only thrive but also support new businesses and a circular economy.

Achieving a sustainable welfare society depends on having a strong and competitive industry that drives growth without compromising environmental integrity or public health. This includes adapting to climate shifts, enhancing risk prevention and management, and improving environmental protection. Efficient resource use is crucial as we transition to a low-carbon economy with the goal of becoming a ‘surplus-energy county’ by 2050.

Smart, sustainability-focused development will allow our regions traditional sectors to continue growing and evolving while creating space for new industries and innovations. The strength of our research institutions and universities in key areas will also play a vital role in fostering innovation and enhancing competitiveness throughout the region.
