Under the Low Carbon Business Action Project (LCBA) in Brazil and in line with the Waste Expo 2017 event, the application period for the Matchmaking Mission in Waste Management & Biogas is open from August 21 until September 13. Sponsored by the European Union, the event will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, from November 21st to the 24th.

The applications are aimed at small and medium-sized European companies dedicated to the adoption of low carbon technologies and energy efficiency interested in forming partnerships with Brazilian companies in order to make available to the country's market technologies, processes and services.

In the context of the Low Carbon Business Action in Brazil, matchmaking sessions have been held, in several locations of the country, between Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) from Brazil and technology suppliers in key sectors from the European. These should result in commitments for the set-up of strategic commercial cooperation relations to be established through concrete partnership and cooperation agreements.

In case you are interested in participating in the Waste Management & Biogas Mission, please fill in the application and help us share this information with other potential beneficiary SMEs within your network.

The companies selected to participate will have 80% of their travel and accommodation costs covered by the European Union.
