Application Deadline Extended; Executive Green ICT & Energy 
Efficiency Trade Mission to Mexico City, Mexico

AGENCY: Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade 
Administration, and U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service are organizing an 
Executive Green ICT & Energy Efficiency Trade Mission to Mexico City 
from September 27-29, 2010. This Executive led mission will focus on 
assisting U.S. providers of ``Green Information & Communication 
Technology (ICT)'' solutions, as well as energy efficiency technologies 
to enter or increase their presence in various sectors of the Mexican 
market. This will include data centers, telecommunications, utilities, 
and construction. Green ICTs--or smart technologies--provide 
monitoring, supervision and automation capabilities to reach energy 
efficiency in the mentioned industries, such as smart grids and smart 
buildings. The mission will support U.S. delegates to gain market 
insight, local private and public contacts, and identify potential 
business opportunities and partners. In addition to the welcome 
reception and Matchmaking Services, a one-day Green ICT & Energy 
Efficiency conference will take place at the World Trade Center in 
Mexico City. Relevant issues on energy efficiency in data centers, 
smart grids, and green buildings will be discussed. Mission delegates 
will have an opportunity to exhibit outside of the conference hall 
during this event. Furthermore, this mission will take place during the 
same days as The Green Expo at the World Trade Center in Mexico City. 
As a separate activity and independent of the mission, delegates will 
be granted a discount by EJ Krause, organizer of The Green Expo, to 
exhibit at the show in the USA Pavilion.
