GRTU President
Paul Abela and Executive Abigail Mamo have this week had the opportunity to
welcome Dr Filip Bucin, who is a lawyer
by professions and has been short listed for the position of Honorary
Consul for Malta in Malmo.
Malmö is
Sweden's third largest city by population, after Stockholm and Gothenburg.
It was one of the earliest and most
industrialized towns of Scandinavia, but it struggled with the adaptation to
post-industrialism. The economy of Malmö was traditionally based on
shipbuilding and construction related industries, such as concrete factories.
Almost
30 companies have moved their headquarters to Malmö during the last seven
years, generating around 2,300 jobs. The level of new started companies is high
in Malmö. Around 7 new companies are started every day in Malmö. In 2010, the
renewal of the number of companies amounted to 13.9%, which exceeds both
Stockholm and Gothenburg. Among the industries that continue to increase their
share of companies in Malmö are transport, financial and business services,
entertainment, leisure and construction.
