Breaking new ground, again.

Innovative thinking is rooted in the soul and history of Gothenburg.
When King Gustav II Adolf gestured across the shores of Otterhällan four centuries ago, the land our city stands on didn’t even exist. Ever since, we’ve continued in the same spirit – building and rethinking, seeing things anew and cultivating global connections. Now, it’s time to work together on the next chapter in our history. On a river peninsula, we’re creating a unique workplace – a platform for collaboration, synergy and international business.

The Vision

The arena for international business.

In order to achieve this vision, we’re building a network of entrepreneurs, organizations, authorities, innovators and experts in international business. We bring together people with wide-ranging experience and backgrounds in an environment where diverse ideas and perspectives can evolve into something greater. Because, to put it simply, sharing knowledge between business sectors is the key to success. Together, we can innovate, inspire and share resources that benefit us all.

A community like no other

Global Business Gate is built on the collective knowledge of its members. Through communication, sharing and active participation in seminars, workshops and other events, we’re creating an environment where ideas and collaboration can flourish. Tapping into these resources can significantly benefit your business. What makes Global Business Gate unique is we all gain by giving.

With sustainability in focus

Any future-facing project must be grounded in the understanding that sustainability – on all levels – is vital to our survival, both as businesses and individuals. Our owners, Elof Hansson Properties and Alecta Properties, have pursued far-sighted goals for a century or more.

The plans we’ve developed embody our commitment to sustainability. Among other things, we have concretized this commitment in our construction plans. Our goal is to achieve environmental certification according to BREEAM standards. Additionally, Masthuggskajen, as a whole, aims to be environmentally certified under Citylab approval.

As a member of Global Business Gate, you actively participate in our sustainability work by following our Code of Conduct. This includes social and ethical sustainability, particularly concerning staff and partners. In short, our community is making a mutual commitment to sustainable business.
