Why are Austrian producers hesitating to export to North America?
Even longer delivery times at the home market
Different law system
Different standards (ASME, CSA ...)

How to distribute?
Establish a huge network of partners.
Use free capacities in automotiv industry.
Who should produce?
What´s the business idea?
Bring the Austrian biomass technology to NAand spread it out from there all over the world.

What am I looking for in Canada?
Partners for the network
