Core offering

Agenda 2030 Open is a free, non-profit collaboration initiative organized by UN associations in Stockholm County that convenes SMEs, civil society, and citizens through events, workshops, and the 2030-Agent certification program to advance the UN Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Participants receive free access to the partner WhyWay SaaS platform for sustainability guidance, post-event coaching, and networking with expert NGOs. The 2026 focus specifically targets SMEs with practical sustainability tools and business strategy integration.

Product overview

Agenda 2030 Open is a collaboration initiative that operates as an event-based program with three interconnected components: (1) the core Agenda 2030 Open initiative which organizes collaborative events for sustainable development aligned with the 17 UN Global Goals, (2) the 2030-Agent Program which certifies participants as sustainability agents after formulating actionable missions, and (3) the 'for Business' format targeting SMEs with practical sustainability tools and workshops. The initiative provides participants free access to a partner AI-supported SaaS platform (WhyWay) for continued sustainability guidance. The program combines in-person events with digital workshops and ongoing coaching support.

Broad incumbents

• FN-förbundet (Swedish UN Association): The national UN Association of Sweden and the ultimate parent/ecosystem organization for Agenda 2030 Open's local FN-distrikt. It runs broader advocacy, education, and membership programs on the SDGs and provides the institutional infrastructure that Agenda 2030 Open sits within.
• Almi: Sweden's state-owned SME development company providing loans, venture capital, and business coaching to SMEs (and an Agenda 2030 Open partner). Comparable in serving Swedish SMEs with growth and sustainability support, though with significantly larger capital and infrastructure.
• Norrsken Foundation: A Swedish-founded impact foundation running Norrsken House Stockholm (Agenda 2030 Open's event venue) and a global ecosystem for impact entrepreneurs. Comparable as a Stockholm-based convener and ecosystem-builder for purpose-driven business activity, though at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Globala Målen (The Global Goals Sweden): Sweden's national communications and engagement platform for the 17 Global Goals, run by a coalition of organizations. It pursues the same goal of mobilizing Swedish society and businesses around the SDGs, making it a direct peer in mission and audience.
• Hållbart Näringsliv (formerly CSR Sweden): A Swedish business-network membership organization that helps companies integrate sustainability and the SDGs into strategy and reporting. Directly comparable to Agenda 2030 Open's SME sustainability engagement, though operating at a national/multi-stakeholder scale rather than a regional events model.
• Glokala Sverige: A UN Association Sweden (FN-förbundet) initiative working on localizing Agenda 2030 across Swedish municipalities. It is the closest analogue to Agenda 2030 Open at the national level, sharing the same UN-aligned mission, civil-society mobilization model, and SME/civic engagement focus.

Emerging players

• Climate Fresk (La Fresque du Climat): An international climate-education NGO that has trained 1.6M+ people on climate science (and is an Agenda 2030 Open partner for SDG 13). Comparable as a peer in delivering structured, workshop-based sustainability capacity building to non-expert audiences.
• Impact Hub Stockholm: A Stockholm impact-entrepreneurship hub (and a partner hosting the SDG 5 workshop) that runs programs and community events for sustainability-focused startups and SMEs. Comparable in targeting impact-driven SMEs in Stockholm and offering a mix of events and ongoing programming.

Others

• The Hunger Project: An international NGO (and an Agenda 2030 Open partner for SDG 2) that mobilizes communities around sustainable development goals. Comparable in being a thematic UN-aligned NGO that hosts workshops within the Agenda 2030 Open framework.
• Klimatpolitiska Rådet (Swedish Climate Policy Council): An independent Swedish council that evaluates government climate policy and supports the national climate agenda. Comparable in working on the climate/sustainability agenda within Sweden's institutional landscape, though focused on policy review rather than SME activation.
