|
Twenty eight French companies will visit Abu Dhabi in the second week of June, 2010 to showcase the French expertise in the civil nuclear field. The purpose of the visit is to take stock of nuclear market opportunities in the UAE, and to explore the potential for commercial and industrial cooperation between the two countries. The French delegation will meet the main decision-makers in the nuclear energy field, the Emirates’ Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), the Public Agency in charge of the country’s nuclear policy, and the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), to discuss possible partnerships. Workshops will be organised at the Emirates Palace. The ENEC will present the details of its nuclear project to the French delegation. The teams from the South Korean consortium will present their industrial vision of the project. This trip will also be an opportunity for delegates to engage with the directors of the ENEC in meetings, particularly to discuss aspects of service. This visit is being organised by UBIFRANCE, the French agency for international business development, and its office in the UAE, the French Trade Commission, in cooperation with the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation, under the patronage of the French Embassy. The French companies in the delegation are members of the French nuclear sector federation (GIIN). This visit reflects the excellent economic, political and cultural relations that exist between the UAE and France. |
