The trade show will be an excellent opportunity for U.S. companies to exhibit their products and to show official visitors, potential clients, and the international press what the U.S. clean technology industry can do. It will take place in the Forum, central Copenhagen’s historic exhibition venue, and is organized by the Confederation of Danish Industry with several cooperative partners, including the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen.

The U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service (USFCS) has organized a special matchmaking program for U.S. exhibitors and visitors at the show, which will include on-site appointments, a reception at the U.S. ambassador’s residence, cobranding opportunities with publications and marketing initiatives of the U.S. embassy and the USFCS, meetings with the official U.S. delegation at the conference, optional site visits, and a lunchtime cruise outside Copenhagen. The cost is $1,000 per person, excluding airfare and hotel fees.

A special publication and marketing package has been arranged for U.S. companies that cannot attend. This package includes a one-page advertisement in a printed program guide, which will be distributed to hundreds of journalists at the show and at related events, and a listing in the USFCS Web site for the event. The package costs $300.
