Service trade plays an important role in Norway's national economy, and the Norwegian Innovation Agency is the most important Norwegian government agency dedicated to innovation and development in Norwegian industries and enterprises. This year marks the seventh consecutive participation of the Norwegian Innovation Agency in the Fair for Trade in Services. Henes, Regional Director of the Norwegian Innovation Agency for Asia and the Middle East, stated that over the years, the Fair has promoted multi-level and cross disciplinary cooperation and exchanges between Chinese and Norwegian enterprises.
In recent years, the Norwegian Innovation Agency has organized a delegation from the Norwegian sports industry, Norwegian health industry, e-commerce, and digital economy related enterprises to participate in the Fair for Trade in Services. It has also organized the China Nordic Medical Technology Exchange Conference in collaboration with the Beijing International Service Trade Affairs Center and other Nordic embassies. These collaborations have increased opportunities for cooperation in related industries between the two countries, benefiting their businesses.
