September 2-10, 2010 MetaSus took a group of 12 Dutch companies in renewable energy and energy efficiency on a trade mission to Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia. In all three countries the entrepreneurs were met with keen interest to explore opportunities in biomass / bio fuels, waste 2 energy, solar and wind energy as well as energy efficiency. The Dutch participants included Biddle, ECN, Eltomation, Eneco Energy Trade, Fugro, GMSP, KEMA, KOZ Products, Priva, Ra Solar, Thermaflex and UT Innovation. In Colombia, the entrepreneurs were joined by the Energy and Climate Section of Agentschap NL which is planning to support local initiatives in biomass. All in all, the Dutch mission delegates had individual encounters with 250 local entrepreneurs and other stakeholders. On top of this, in Costa Rica a seminar was organized by the Chamber of Industries with almost 100 local businesspeople attending and in Colombia the group hooked up to the fifth Conference on Eco-efficiency and Industrial Competitiveness, organized by the Colombian Association of Industries. The mission was organized together with the Dutch umbrella organization DE Koepel, in the framework of the CPA program of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency and with active support of the Dutch Embassies in Costa Rica and Colombia as well as the Consulate in Panama.
