"Vipps" and we were in China

Purpose

Fintech study tour to Alibaba and Ant Financial

On behalf of Vipps, we organized a customized study trip to China for managers in the Norwegian fintech sector. The purpose of the trip was to explore and gain insights into future digital payment technologies within one of the world’s most advanced technological landscapes.

The journey started in Shanghai, where Heidi Berg, a local expert, gave an introduction to the Chinese digital ecosystem. In the evening we took a stroll along Nanjing Road and The Bund, followed by an evening cruise on the Huangpu River.

The next day included sightseeing on Shanghai Old Street and Yuyuan Garden, a classic garden from the Ming Dynasty, before heading to the top of Shanghai Tower for a panoramic view of the city.

On the third day of the trip, we traveled by high-speed train to Hangzhou for an interactive workshop at Ant Financial's Space Z, and a visit to Alibaba's headquarters. These meetings provided in-depth insight into how large technology companies drive innovation.

The trip offered the participants a unique opportunity to not only get to know the technology that drives China forward, but also to make valuable contacts. Through close planning and local partnerships, we ensured that the trip went seamlessly, both in advance and during the trip.
