Canada/Australia Business and Technology Mission to China

If you wish to develop markets in Asia, or have a bioenergy project in Canada but need financing, or seek to license a leading-edge bioenergy technology, or want to see operational ag-biomass power stations by China's leading bioenergy company, Dragon Power, then take advantage of a unique opportunity to come to Beijing and explore partnerships with Chinese and Australian companies!

Many Chinese companies are flush with cash and are being actively encouraged by the Chinese government to form offshore partnerships and invest in overseas renewable energy technologies and projects. CanBio, in cooperation with the Trade Commissioner Service in Beijing and the World Bioenergy Association, is leading a 20-person mission to China to promote Canadian biofuel technologies and solicit financing partners for Canadian bioenergy projects. Australia is also sending a delegation of 10-12 companies, both to attract Chinese investment and assess partnerships with Canadian companies.

For this event we have the full cooperation of the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service in Beijing, the Australian Trade Commissioner Service, the World Bioenergy Association and Dragon Power.
