First Green Trade Mission to America
Posted 28th March 2011
Six British companies, including Intelligent Energy, Jupiter Asset Management, the Mark Group, RES and Adnams Southwold, joined Climate Change Minister Greg Barker on the first ever DECC Green trade mission to America.
Over the five day visit this week, the companies will meet with politicians, investors, business groups and regional development bodies to explore the potential US market for British clean technologies. The trade mission aims to highlight the potential of a low carbon economy while demonstrating the opportunities for investment in UK green companies.
Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said:
“The companies joining me on this U.S. trade mission are living proof of the economic benefits of the new green economy and can therefore help me make the case that going green is good for the economy, as well as energy security.
Dennis Hayter, VP of Business Development at Intelligent Energy, said:
“There is terrific potential to unlock the UK’s green sector and missions such as these are crucial if we are to accelerate export growth. Intelligent Energy welcomes the chance to support the Minister in showcasing Britain’s clean technology in the United States, and looks forward to discussing new market opportunities that will encourage business investment.”
