Feasibility study: Experience local Trosa
A common collaboration solution can strengthen trade and tourism in the municipality
About the feasibility study
Entrepreneurs Trosa Gnesta will conduct a feasibility study to investigate whether a common collaboration solution for entrepreneurs and tourism throughout Trosa municipality is feasible. The feasibility study will map the interest among local traders and actors, collaborate with other relevant actors such as the municipality, and develop a basis for joint campaigns and initiatives. This can strengthen the local economy, entrepreneurs, and tourism throughout the municipality. The model can be inspired by how actors collaborate in the Nysams model, in Nyköping municipality. It is important that the entire municipality is included in the initiative, not just Trosa center.
The feasibility study will produce a decision basis with recommendations on whether and how to proceed with a collaboration model or not.
The feasibility study is driven by Entrepreneurs, and the project group includes representatives from Trosa municipality (business/tourism) and ÖSP (Östra Sörmlandsposten).
The feasibility study will be conducted from January to May 2026.
”A common physical and digital coordination, together with joint campaigns for local trade and experiences, is expected to create new business flows, increase local trade, and make it easier for residents and visitors to choose local”
Part of the project ”Smart Rural Areas”
Leader Sörmlandskusten is running its own project in 2026 to enable support for smaller initiatives that contribute to more sustainable and smarter solutions in rural areas. By smarter, we mean more adapted to local conditions, using local resources, and collaborating in new ways based on the actors present in the area.
The project aims to strengthen local engagement and contribute to new methods, working practices, and community solutions that make our rural areas more sustainable, resilient, and attractive to live and work in. The goal is to support 5-10 smaller sub-projects.
