A natural meeting place for e-business

As early as the 1990s, there was a need to create better conditions for companies and organizations to choose e-commerce in various ways. In 1993, the EDIS – EDI Association was founded in Sweden. Already at that time, it was the gathering place for EDI in Sweden, which worked to increase efficiency and competitiveness through digitalization.

In 1999, EDIS was transformed into GEA – the Community for Electronic Commerce.

NEW TIMES
The development has progressed rapidly. From initially focusing on internal processes to establishing relationships and real-time communication between different companies, both within and outside their own industry. A development that clearly shows that common standards are required, as well as a functioning infrastructure for communication technology, security, law, and contracts.

When did we become NEA?
It is against this backdrop that the Network for Electronic Business (NEA) was formed. NEA picked up where GEA—the Community for Electronic Business—left off. In much the same way, GEA had previously built upon the experience gained from the EDI Association in Sweden (EDIS). A changing reality inevitably influences an organization’s way of working. The goal is to create a more cost-effective organization, while simultaneously deepening and broadening its scope to meet today’s needs.
