ABOUT US
We connect partners
to drive local change
with global perspective.
It's 2011 and the World Economic Forum just founded a network of inspiring young professionals – under the age of 30 – to empower young people to play an active role in shaping local, regional, and global agendas.
The Global Shapers Community was born.
A decade later, there are 14,000+ Shapers in over 500 city-based hubs in more than 150 countries – that is, self-organising young professionals who are exceptional in their potential, achievements, and their drive to contribute to their communities through impact projects.
Global Shapers Malmö address the various challenges Sweden is currently facing through local social impact projects strengthened by global, future-proof perspectives.
Our projects are born in different ways:
-
In the minds of our hub members in dialogue with public & private organisations, or
-
As scaling initiatives of already existing projects.
Our purpose is to shape the future of Malmö and drive transformative social impact by facilitating partnerships & acting as a platform for dialogue. All projects and consulting engagements are executed by the young professionals in our hub pro bono.
We would love to hear from you.

OUR WORK
Leveraging Diversity as Capital
Local projects with global perspective are why we exist.
The Global Shapers Community is more than just discussions. Social impact projects – designed, structured, and executed by hub members – are at the very heart of our work.
Our impact projects in Malmö are largely influenced by what makes Malmö so unique. According to Forbes, Malmö is one of the world's most inventive & innovative cities, with the 2nd highest number of start-ups per capita in Europe, with 170+ nationalities & 150+ languages represented in Malmö.
We believe in leveraging such diversity to drive positive change for all.
