Mission Description. Whether you’re seeking new markets for your proven technology or launching a product line, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Environmental Technologies Trade Mission to Warsaw, Budapest, and Prague, November 7-11, 2005, offers a cost-effective way to meet pre-screened business contacts. The timing is ideal. European Union accession requirements have tightened environmental performance standards in Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, driving demand for new equipment, technology, and services.

Poland. Facing US$35 billion in costs to adapt to EU standards, Poland plans to modernize storage systems, encapsulate transport equipment, reduce sulfur levels in liquid fuels, and upgrade sewage plants, factories, recycling facilities.

Hungary. This market looks to invest US$4 billion in wastewater treatment, US$1.05 billion in waste management, and at least US$100 million in air pollution control.

Czech Republic. The CR needs to spend about US$10 billion over the next 7 years on EU compliance. U.S. environmental equipment and technologies are competitive, and a U.S. firm with a Czech partner can compete for EU funds.
