040x040
An exploration of urban innovation through immersive learning journeys between two creative cities.
040x040 is a tailor-made exchange format initiated by IT'S THE GLUE, bringing together creators & innovators from Hamburg and Malmö.
Through immersive two-day journeys, the 040x040 community dives into the cracks between Swedish and German culture — exploring how we work, create and collaborate on individual and organisational level.
It's small by design. You meet with everyone. It feels like a family quickly. More about sharing than presenting.

What Contributors Say
I hate conferences. But I love small, informal and fluid networks of smart people who develop ideas, share them and drive change. That's why I truly enjoyed being part of an 040x040 event.
For sure my best experience 2015. The Hamburg–Malmö connection is so unexplored. 040x040 is the perfect combination of knowledge sharing and relationship building.
I like that it's small. You get to meet with everyone and you feel like a family quickly. This is more about sharing than presenting — which is key.
