Energy Efficiency Export Initiative
In times of scarce fossil fuel resources and continually rising energy prices, economic prosperity and competitiveness depend more than ever on the ability to use energy more efficiently - not just in Germany, but all around the world. The use of innovative technology holds enormous potential for energy conservation in every field of application. Companies, private households and the public sector can tap unimagined resources through the efficient use of energy.
Germany enjoys an outstanding reputation throughout the world for its high-quality technical products and its practical expertise, particularly in the field of energy efficiency. This is why the German Ministry of Economics and Technology decided to launch the Energy Efficiency Export Initiative.
This initiative will help you bring energy efficiency know-how and experience to your country. In this way, you can tap the potential for local energy savings and energy efficiency. This has multiple benefits: you will save energy costs, enhance your own and your country's economic competitiveness, and make a positive contribution to international climate protection.
The Energy Efficiency Export Initiative will help you establish contacts with German companies and experts.
