The universities collaborate with high tech industries and the local community in different development projects. Currently[when?] 250 companies, notably Volvo Cars, Volvo Technology, Ericsson, IBM, Semcon, Scania AB and SVT. Over 21 000 employees or students are working or studying at the area.

The main operators of Lindholmen Science Park are Gothenburg Municipality, Chalmers University of Technology, the University of Gothenburg, Volvo Group, Ericsson, Volvo Cars, , TeliaSonera, Saab, and the Swedish Road Administration.

As the Lindholmen area was growing, street traffic has been adapted for high capacity needs.[clarification needed] Lindholmen can be reached by several modes of transportation: Gothenburg's oldest line, number 16, goes through Lindholmen. The bus lanes are separated from the rest of the traffic in an alleyway and may be used later as part of the Gothenburg tram network, but this is not currently in planning. There is also a ferry, Älvsnabben, connecting Lindholmen with Stenpiren.[1] Between 2015 and 2020 electric buses were running between Johanneberg Science Park adjacent to Chalmers and Lindholmen Science Park as part of .[2]
