Environment 2007 Conference - United Arab Emirates
Opportunities for Nova Scotia in Environment Sector of UAE
Nova Scotia has been busily building its ties to the United Arab Emirates. Situated on the Arabian Gulf, the UAE has become a pre-eminent energy, financial and tourism hub for the region.
Demand for greater protection of the environment has been driven by the country's massive infrastructure growth and burgeoning tourism sector. The Environment 2007 Conference, held in Abu Dhabi, attracted delegates from around the globe.
Initial research and meetings indicate a significant demand for quality, innovative environmental services and technologies. Canadian firms are welcome and are in demand for their expertise.
For more information on opportunities in the United Arab Emirates, and on upcoming projects, please contact Thomas Rankin.
Environmental Liaison Office in Trinidad & Tobago
Nova Scotia Seeks to Build Upon Success
NSEL, in partnership with the Department of Energy, the Office of Economic Development, and Nova Scotia Business Inc., has opened an Environmental Liaison Office in Trinidad & Tobago.

The objectives of the Liaison Office are to:
- Strengthen existing business networks and relationships
- Identify potential business opportunities
- Assist with arranging meetings for NS firms and participate in same
- Facilitate technical cooperation between the Environmental Management Authority (an environmental agency of Trinidad and Tobago) and the Ministry of Public Utilities and the Environment
Craig will continue to work on behalf of Nova Scotia's private sector companies, gaining market information and intelligence on projects in Trinidad & Tobago.
