South Africa presents lucrative opportunities for U.S. firms involved in Green Building Technologies.  The Commercial Service South Africa is offering U.S. firms affordable yet effective ways to promote their products and services at the Green Building Conference and Exhibition 2009 and gain a valuable position to supply South Africa’s demand for Green Build technologies. 

The Opportunity

The Green Building Conference and Exhibition welcomes all U.S. regulators, environmental building professionals, academics and representatives from all facets of the construction industry as delegates to the conference and visitors to the exhibition, which will open to all consumers for the full two days.

  • Showcase your green products and services in a vibrant, interactive environment where you will have the ability to interact one on one with building professionals specifically seeking products and services that they can incorporate into their next projects that are readily available in South Africa.
  • Join the world leading authorities on sustainable development while they engage and educate South Africa’s leading architects, engineers, property owners and construction professionals on the latest trends, technologies and materials available in the green building movement.
