Dear International Marketing Executive:

France is fast becoming one of Europe’s most dynamic markets for renewable energy and green building technologies with over 70 percent growth in several sectors! This is creating enormous market opportunities. The U.S. Commercial Service, America's front line export promotion agency, is therefore pleased to invite American firms to participate in the Renewable Energy and Green Building Trade Exhibition. This is France’s leading trade show that focuses on renewable energy and green building technologies and the integration of the two. The event will be held at Paris Expo Exhibition Center in Paris, France, from June 19-21, 2008.

The U.S. Commercial Service in France, in conjunction with the show organizer SEPELCOM, will be offering a pre-show list of selected company contacts, market briefings, business introductions, a roundtable with industry thought-leaders and special on-site assistance exclusively to US companies. We will help you connect with key decision-makers, potential customers, industry associations, government regulators and other industry officials.

The Renewable Energy and Green Building Trade Exhibition is a truly comprehensive exhibition, which covers all the major renewable energy and green building technology sectors, including wind power, photovoltaic, solar thermal, geothermal, biomass, biofuel, hydropower, fuel cells, building structures, insulation, carpentry, air and water treatment. Past attendees have included engineering and design firms, power producers and service providers, electricity firms, manufacturing firms, installers, local government authorities, architects, construction companies, real-estate developers and all the key energy trade associations. With over 200 exhibitors and 20,000 visitors expected, the scope of this show reflects its reputation as a major European event not to be missed by U.S. renewable energy and green building technology firms. This event also offers an opening to the Mediterranean and French-speaking African markets.

We urge American firms to take advantage of the unique opportunities afforded by participation in this event. For more information, please feel free to contact us or visit the following web address
