As its namie implies, this year's conference marked the transition from aid to business. The traditional aid cooperation is on its way out. The world is changing, and so does the cooperation between the North and the South.
Norwegian business and industry involvement in former traditional aid countries are also changing. What does this mean for Norwegian companies and organizations? New economc and political powers in Asia change the world. Asian markets formerly closed are being opened. What are the new perspectives? These were some of the questions under scrutiny.
The shift of power to Asia, trade and investments in Myanmar and investment opportunities in Africa were among the topics covered by the speakers.
