The U.S. Embassy’s Commercial Service will host “Made in America 2008” from October 9 through 11, 2008, at the Beirut International Exhibition & Leisure Center (BIEL) in Lebanon. “Made in America” aims to showcase the latest American technology and to assist American businesses in taking advantage of the expanding commercial relations between Lebanon and the United States. The last “Made in America” trade fair in November 2005 was a great success, featuring the goods and services of over 300 U.S. companies active in a wide variety of sectors, including information and communication technology, environmental technology, healthcare, automotive, construction, household appliances, security, transportation and energy. Over 18,000 visitors attended the fair; major U.S. companies participating included Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, Lucent, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, FedEx, Western Union, Chrysler, Coldwell Banker, Expeditors, 3M and Ford. “Made in America” exhibitors reported thousands of promising leads and millions of dollars in new contracts as a direct result of the fair. more... |
