ITA to Lead Clean Energy Business Delegation for Talks in Tokyo
The International Trade Administration will lead a delegation of U.S. companies to participate in a Renewable Energy Policy Business Roundtable Dec. 3 in Tokyo. The Department of Energy will chair the round table, the ITA said. Following the roundtable, the delegation will travel to northeast Japan for site visits to learn firsthand the current condition of reconstruction after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami and the role of renewable energy in those efforts. According to the ITA, Japan’s decision to phase out nuclear power creates business opportunities for U.S. clean energy companies. Participants must register online no later than Oct. 31. Applications will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
