What kind of challenges exist in green technology transfer and product shipment to NA for technology suppliers?
Making an unknown green tech product a new market standard starts mostly with a first unique demonstration project that is, one-of-a-kind and accessible for future customers and influencers.

- How can the import be managed, goods received and logistics organized?
- What requirements exist in regards to insurance, toll and tax issues?
- How can storage, transportation and manpower issues be overcome?
- How can the technology be setup and showcased to prove its reliability?
