►Trade Event: NOA Electrifies Business Prospects for U.S. Suppliers, May 16:

Under the banner of the private sector-driven and CS Japan-coordinated New Orleans Association (NOA) Conference, U.S. exporters joined with Japan’s 10 electric power companies and 2 power wholesalers for a full day of B2B meetings aimed at increasing sales of U.S. products and services to a huge electrical power market that may be primed for de-regulation.  After opening remarks by Under Secretary Sánchez, the group broke out into meetings arranged by CS Tokyo between 40 procurement managers from Japan’s power companies and over 60 representatives of U.S. firms.  The next 7 hours saw over 140 individual meetings focused on how U.S. technology and innovation can help address Japan’s energy needs as the country embarks on deregulation and an influx of renewable energy.
