For the first time ever, three bureaus within the U.S. Department of Commerce-the Economic Development Administration (EDA), the U.S. Commercial Service (USCS) and Commerce's Invest in America program–teamed up to promote U.S. exports and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the U.S. through an international trade and investment mission.
The U.S. Cleantech Trade & Investment Mission to Lyon, France and Brussels, Belgium took place from November 28-December 4, 2010. Co-led by U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Brian McGowan and USCS Regional Director for Western Europe James Koloditch, the U.S. delegation consisted of 20 community delegates from across the U.S. seeking foreign direct investment and several companies looking to find new trading partners in support of President Obama's National Export Initiative (NEI).
