Tillväxt Botkyrka was initiated by Tillväxt Stockholm, on behalf of Botkyrka municipality, with the aim of contributing to increased inclusion in a business-driven way. The goal is to, by offering business development, recruitment support, and networking to companies with 5-50 employees in Botkyrka, contribute to the creation of 1000 jobs in the first 5 years. Tillväxt Botkyrka is a non-profit collaborative initiative between business and the municipality. The board includes representatives from all parties, and also the employment agency. The business is business-driven, non-political and religiously unbound.

Tillväxt Botkyrka was established in May 2018 and has since been able to offer local entrepreneurs free access to knowledge, tools and contacts that make it easier for companies to grow and hire more people. The company's staff offers business development and recruitment support. Pro-bono partners contribute with expert advice in a number of different areas. In addition, it is possible to apply for capital via Tillväxt Botkyrka's network of investors.
"As a recruitment consultant, I get the chance to be part of something bigger and contribute locally in Botkyrka.
I get to take a lot of responsibility, also in business development, and am constantly developing in my role. No two projects are the same!''
