FACT FINDING in mexico
13-16february 2012
Why Mexico?
Mexico is making substantial investments in wind energy. Mexico will increase its investment in land windmills from 515MW to about 2,5GW by the end of 2012, and the goal is to reach an installed capacity of up to 10 GW by the end of 2020. While the Mexicans have ambitious expectations for the future, they are aware of their need for the necessary expertise within public policies, planning, handling and financing of wind energy. Therefore,Denmark enters as a knowledge partner to assist Mexico’s wind energy growth.
The Embassy in Mexico City has established strong relationships with key public institutions and private stakeholders at the highest level. Thus, the door is open for Danish experts and companies to build strategic relations with the important stakeholders who will decide the future of the Mexican wind industry.
The Danish wind delegation is organized together with the Mexican Ministry of Energy. In Denmark, the delegation is coordinated with the Danish Energy Agency, Energinet and The Danish Wind Industry Association. These organisations will actively participate in the delegation.
Purpose
The visitwill take place from 13 – 16February 2012. It will combine fact-finding with promotion ofthe Danish model and core competences towards the Mexican public and private decision-makers, thereby establishing relevant commercial contacts for your company.
During a one-day program with high-level round-tables, workshops, b2b meetings and a networking reception with a broad range of Mexican wind energy stake-holders, companies will get the opportunity present themselves to the main interlocutors.
In addition, the Embassy will assist participating companies in setting up 1:1 meetings with investors and potential business partners.
