Bavarian Business Delegation to Alberta
The Bavarian Ministry of the Economy and Bayern International are organising a business mission to Alberta, June 12-17, 2007. The mission will be headed by Staatssekretär Hans Spitzner, who will be accompanied by a business and experts' delegation. The mission will focus on infrastructure sectors (construction, energy and environment, machinery, oil-gas-chemicals, robotics) and will visit Calgary (at the time of Go Expo), Edmonton and Fort McMurray. In view of the dynamic links between Bavarian business and Canada, this is a truly multi-faceted mission with export, investment and technology transfer potential.
