Welcome to the public section of Sunrise - the Euro-China Business Link for SMEs in the solar energy industries!

Sunrise is an EU-funded programme that intends to strengthen the solar energy industry sector in the European Union and in China, by promoting long-term business co-operation between companies in the two regions. It targets SMEs in the photovoltaic and solar thermal energy industry in four project countries: China, Germany, Greece and Hungary.

Built around a three-day match-making event in Shanghai, 3-5 November 2008, Sunrise proposes a comprehensive programme of preparatory and follow-up activities. Participating companies will receive full support as well as access to crucial market intelligence, advanced online services and a global B2B platform for renewable energies.

The main match-making event has been successfully completed. Attended by a total of 60 selected European and Chinese companies from the solar energy sector, more than 170 individual business meetings were held at the Holiday Inn Pudong in Shanghai following a general information session. Speaker presentations and photos from the event are available for download from the "Media Section".

Project partners will remain available for participants for any follow-up support to their initial business contacts. Participating companies are furthermore invited to join the international industry portal and marketplace www.b2brenenergy.com, free of charge, and to make full use of its global B2B services.
