The interest in Stockholm?s environmental expertise is increasing in China as its government and companies struggle to reduce their carbon footprint and cut energy costs.
In October, six Stockholm-based companies were selected to take part in an event in Hong Kong where Chinese investors, industry players and reporters met with Swedish cleantech entrepreneurs.
The companies came from a diverse range of industries including clean technology solutions in renewable energy, waste management and construction, as well as computer engineering.
The seminar, called the Stockholm Innovation Showcase, was organised in collaboration with Stockholm Business Region Development, Stockholm Innovation & Growth (STING) and Hong Kong Science Park.
P?r Hedberg, CEO of STING, said the event was a success and that talks with potential investors and partners are ongoing.
"Once again we saw evidence that the interest in Swedish environmental expertise is very high," he told The Swedish Wire. "Several individual meetings took place between representatives of our companies and potential partners. Some of the companies currently have continuing discussions with Chinese contacts that they made in Hong Kong."
One of the companies was Zebor Technology, which has developed the fastest, most cost-effective and scaleable platform for embedded systems based on the products ZDOS and ZBIOS.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to make contacts with industrial and financial partners in China, especially since our primary market focus is Hong Kong and Taiwan," said the CEO of Zebor, Lars ?sterberg.
The delegation represent some of the Swedish capital's most promising innovators, said the CEO of Stockholm Business Region Development, Anna Gissler.
"Through the coordinated efforts of the public sector and private enterprise, Stockholm has created a unique environment for innovative companies to flourish," she said in a statement.
