On March 28, 2012, a delegation of government officials from Sweden and Norway visited NIA to learn more about the development of e-Services for government registration offices.
The 7-member delegation comprised of officials from Swedish Companies Registration Office and Brønnøysund (Norway) Register Centre was headed by Ms. Annika Br?str?m, Director-General of the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Mr. Mr H?kon R Olderbakk, Head of Department, Planning and Development of the Brønnøysund Register Centre (Norway). The Swedish Companies Registration Office focuses on; registering business enterprises and associations, receiving and storing annual reports, registering corporate mortgages, making decisions in liquidation, making information from our registers available and registering announcements in "The Official Gazette" and make them available to the public. They are mandated with preparing good conditions for the trade and industry.
During the meeting with NIA staff and management, an introduction of NIA was given along with a presentation on eGovFrame (Korea' s on e-Government Framework). Ms. Br?str?m, Director-General of the Swedish Companies Registration Office gave a presentation on the Registration Office in Sweden and how they encounter some challenges when it comes to private sector involvement so she was curious to learn how Korea deals with Public-Private partnerships for e-government projects. After the presentations, a very good Q&A/discussion session took place where the delegation from Sweden and Norway took turns asking NIA staff some inquiries regarding budget planning for e-government projects. Dr. Jeongwon Yoon, Executive Director of the Global Cooperation Division explained about the role the Presidential Committee for e-government that has been in place in form or another since the beginning of 2000-2001and how there is an interfacing agency that allows the exchange of information from one government ministry/office to another. There was also interest in e-ID and certification authorities in Korea and again, Dr. Yoon explained about the prevalent use of digital signatures (40 million digital certificates - for public officials and citizens).
The meeting ended with an exchange of presents on behalf of both parties with a promise to keep the communication channels open for further collaboration between Sweden, Norway and Korea in the area of general e-government services and continue to develop ways for e-governance to be implemented in the three respective countries.
