Building business in emerging markets at EWEA 2013 Annual Event In The Windfair Newsletter

"Evaluating and entering new markets is one of the future key business activities global wind players have to take into consideration as mature markets are showing lower growth rates while several new markets offer great opportunities and are catching up in terms of renewable policies and infrastructures. Therefore it becomes crucial for us to enter new markets. Our customers reflect this development by showing cross boarder activities and entering new markets as well."

Kyriakos Kosmidis, CEO of Repower Systems SE and EWEA 2013 Emerging Markets Workshop Chair Andrew Garrad (President of GL Garrad Hassan), Jan Serup Hylleberg (CEO of DWIA) and Martin Berkenkamp (Policy Leader of Renewables for GE Energy) talk about the importance of emerging wind energy markets and the business opportunities at EWEA 2013 in Vienna.
