Västra Götalandsregionen – (Region West Sweden) Facts Largest region in Sweden 4 subregions – Responsible for Economic growth programs App people live in West Sweden Gothenburg main town – App people 49 Municpalities, out of 290 in Sweden (local governance)

Organised work devoted to the social economy started in 2001 According to the regional guidelines the significance of the social economy and its protagonists must be brought out clearly in all strategic development work and in the implementation of Vision Västra Götaland 14) Joint action with universities and schools..”The concept of social capital and the knowledge around its significance for development and growth should continue to be highlighted by means of concrete studies and development projects in the collaboration between, for example, municipalities and the higher education sector.”

From Dynamic Growth Capital – To Social Capital Forum In the beginning there was an idea about people as the main resource… Now it develops into an interactive knowledge and learning platform – It took some time…

Dynamic Growth Capital Aims 1)To increase the knowledge about social capital 2) Create a modell to be used in the rest of west Sweden for work with related issues and in similar organisation form (From analysis to implementation )
