Ecolinks Hosts SABIT Environmental Technologies Mining Delegation

 

EcoLinks has organized a business meeting for relevant U.S. environmental companies in the mining sector and their counterparts from Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian, Tajikistan and Ukraine.  This is an opportunity for U.S. companies to establish a direct dialogue with key mining sector officials from a region ripe with opportunities for U.S. environmental technology and services.

The visiting delegation comprises representatives from ferrous and non-ferrous mining operations as well as specialists in environmental impact issues and government-run concerns.  The program will provide overviews of the SABIT program and its goals, foreign delegates’ needs, and the EcoLinks program.  U.S. company representatives will be offered the chance to meet individually with delegates and discuss projects of mutual interest.

The mandate of the EcoLinks program extends beyond this event by providing ongoing services that assist U.S. and foreign firms to develop lasting partnerships. EcoLinks also works directly with participating U.S. firms to assess market prospects, identify potential business partners and arrange appointment schedules.  

Participation in this business meeting includes the following benefits:

·         Targeted one-on-one meetings with selected local project representatives

·         Informal reception allowing free contact with visiting delegates and guests

·         Interpretation at match-making sessions

·         Briefing on the SABIT and EcoLinks Programs

·         Information on other Ecolinks activities and services for U.S. and foreign companies

Participation fee: $25.  Refreshments will be served.  For U.S. companies that wish to participate in this event, please contact:
