The focus was on collaboration when the Brønnøysund Register Centre and the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry visited China last autumn. Altinn's cutting-edge electronic administration systems were introduced at World Expo in Shanghai.

Two full days, 16 and 17 September, were allocated to Norway’s presentation of its electronic administration and collaboration systems, Altinn, Seres and Elmer. It all took place in the Norway Pavilion at the huge World Expo 2010 exhibition. State Secretary Halvard Ingebrigtsen of the Ministry of Trade and Industry opened the Altinn seminar, and gave the participants an understanding of the Norwegian web portal for public forms in Norway. The OECD, Norwegian Tax Administration and Ministry of Finance also introduced systems and surveys. Representatives of the Chinese tax authorities and other institutions in Shanghai and Beijing were extremely interested and attentive during the presentation of Altinn.
