Sector Facilitation
NOIE's broad objectives in sector facilitation are to articulate the value of participating in B2B e-commerce, and to bring together stakeholders in key economic sectors or supply chains to develop collaborative solutions. NOIE's sector facilitation work currently focuses on health, financial services, education and transport.
Overview
NOIE can bring value by facilitating e-commerce solutions for industry that are open and inclusive for all business participants. A way to facilitate these solutions is to identify critical leverage points for e-commerce uptake in sectors and then work with key businesses to build projects that have an impact on these critical points in the value chain. Further detail on NOIE's sector approach can be found at B2B E-Commerce: Capturing Value Online.
