“What Swedish is doing today will be done in China tomorrow. For example,
we are also doing e-government service, but how to combine all the windows into
one is sitll not done yet in China,” Gao said.

“In terms of environmental driven market is also a very good measure China can
practice since China has a big demand in solving environmental problems, here it
sounds more to act to prevent the environment than to treat the pollution when
it happens, in China, it is still just relying on the environmental sector to stop it,”
Gao said.

He invited the Swedish host to visit China and Huzhou in the future to bring
Swedish new ideas and practices there and deepen bilateral cooperation.

and they have 2 to 249 employees and 96 percent of companies are those who
have only less than 10 employees.

environmentally driven market development.

“For example, if people have a product in renewable energy, waste management,
waste water treatment, transportation and so on, and people like to develop that
in the international market, then people can apply funds from the government,”
Bemgard said. The idea is to support the company with half of the funding while
the other half must be funded by the companies themselves.
