U.S. companies targeting the European market, must not miss the most important trade events in the Automotive sector. We identify the top European shows, and then we work with the organizers to provide special added value - such as US Pavilions - for U.S. companies that participate. Commercial Service staff attend the shows, and often provide matchmaking services for U.S. companies.
