Subject: Fw: Invitation à la Deuxième Semaine du Climat et des Energies Renouvelables / Invitation to the Second Climate and Renewable Energy Week, 6-15 Feb 09, Lomé, Togo
To: Yngvild Lorentzen , john NNV , dah@naturvern.no
Chers Collègues,
J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter à participer à la Semaine du Climat et des Energies Vertes qui se tient à Lomé et Sotouboua, Togo, du 6-15 Février 2009.
L'objectif de cette semaine est de faciliter l'utilisation des applications des énergies vertes par les ménages togolais et encourager l'action politique dans le sens de la diffusion sans barrière des technologies énergétiques nouvelles. Cette occasion permettra également aux acteurs du solaire et autres formes d'énergies renouvelables de la sous-région ouest africaine et d'autres régions de renforcer leur cadre de collaboration.
Placée sous le thème: ' de l'énergie verte pour tous', ce grand rendez-vous des amis de la planète, offrira un cadre approprié d'échanges autour de la thématique de l'adaptation communautaire, alors que le monde s'apprête à boucler le cycle des négociations sur le climat relatives à l'après Kyoto.
J'aimerais vous inviter particulièrement à venir exposer vos produits et autres technologies prouvées ou en développement, lors de la FOIRE EXPO ENERGIVERT LOME (FEEL 2009). Cette foire, qui se déroulera sur la place des Expositions du Grand Marché de Lomé (au cœur donc de la ville), rassemblera les amis de 'l'énergie sans danger' de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et d'autres parties du monde du 11-15 février 2009.
Nous attendons une participation d'une cinquantaine d'exposants venus du monde entier et une audience de plus 5000 personnes.
Je vous tiens en annexe le document de base de cet événement et vous prie de bien vouloir nous faire parvenir la fiche d'inscription avant le 1er février 2009.
Comme vous le constaterez, l'organisation vous offre les stands gratuits, l'hébergement et la restauration (matin & midi), le transport local et ne laisse à votre charge que les frais de transport de votre pays d'origine jusqu'à Lomé. Une aubaine pour développer des partenariats et renforcer les relations d'affaires entres acteurs du secteur le plus prometteur au monde.
Merci de nous adresser toute question relative à votre participation ou de nous faire toute suggestion pouvant permettre de réussir cet événement. Je vous prie de bien vouloir transmettre cette invitation à d'autres structures au sein de votre réseau ou dans votre pays pouvant être intéressé par cet événement.
Au plaisir de vous voir à Lomé!
Salutations Solaires!!!
