The World Trade Center San Diego, in partnership with the US International Trade Administration, is seeking US-based water technology manufacturers, suppliers, engineers and consultants that are interested in exporting to India and 13 nations in North Africa and the Middle East. The market for developing water-related infrastructure and facilities within the targeted region is estimated at more than $200 billion over the next 10 years. This is a result of increased population, declining supplies and each nation's desire to improve domestic, industrial and agricultural water supplies and wastewater treatment. The Water Technology Products and Services Export Program focuses on a full range of potential export areas related to design, construction and operation of water infrastructure and equipment, with particular emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies. The WTCSD program is designed to identify US companies capable of and committed to working within the target markets and to match these companies with the needs of one or more of the nations that are included in the program. The program will assist companies in conducting trade missions, counseling individual companies and providing financial assistance to attend trade missions and shows. The first trade mission being organized as part of the program will go to India between Feb. 28 and March 4, in conjunction with the Aquatech India conference and trade show to be held in Mumbai. More information is available from WTCSD project director, Hugh Constant, or ITA project leader, Ellen Bohon.
