Hello All,

One of SmartGrid Canada's mandates is to promote the Canadian smart grid industry abroad. We feel that the work that Canadian utilities and industry members are doing is world leading and provides a great opportunity for Canada to build its brand internationally and create jobs at home. Last year we conducted a similar mission to China and it was very successful for the participants.

We have partnered with the Department of Foreign Affairs & International Trade and ISTP Canada on two Smart Grid Match-Making Missions this fall.

• INDIA -  November 11 - 13, 2013 in New Delhi

• BRAZIL - December 7 - 14, 2013 in Sao Paulo & Rio de Janeiro

We have invited utilities, industry members and academics, as we believe a mix of Canadian companies lends the mission the most credibility.

There is 50% funding support for travel expenses for those who are selected to participate in the mission.

If this is something that you are interested in, please let us know. I have attached a couple of PDFs that ISTP Canada created that explain the missions. Hope you can participate.
