Nordic Edge Asia is an international two-way smart city knowledge exchange between two distinct societies – China and the Nordics. The week-long event connects decision-makers from the Nordics and China through a mutually beneficial conference, site visits and networking events. It gives Nordic municipalities an opportunity:

• to showcase smart and sustainable solutions and initiatives to a new market
• Gain first-hand knowledge of innovative Smart City planning and solutions on a large scale through talks and site visits
• Initiate collaborations with Chinese counterparts, including participation in Urban Living Labs
• Find partners in the Chinese market assisted by a joint event

Likewise, the event gives Chinese stakeholders the opportunity to:

• Access to Nordic Smart City initiatives, past and present, without travelling to Scandinavia and facing possible language barriers
• A platform for authorities and companies to present to a Nordic audience
• Networking with high level representatives from both the public and private sector
