Clean Tech Market Access Program
One of our most extensive programs at the moment. For the past months SACC-USA has promoted the program in Sweden and the program has been well received.  After the “Change to Green” seminar in Washington D.C. in February we started gathering prospects for this program and we have come up with a very good prospect list. Our goal is to plan similar seminars in Sweden during the fall and that is why we need your help. Please let us know what your state is looking for when it comes to Green technology and also let us know what member companies that are working within the Green technology area. We need this information so that we can better match the Swedish companies with states and member companies. Read more in brochure (pdf: 2.7MB)
