As of: 06.03.2009General information

The development and consistent realisation of the export initiative is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental task and is carried out jointly with other ministries, their technical agencies or associated institutes and with industrial associations. The development of a network of actors is of particular importance during the initial phase. The initiative will bundle and harmonise support instruments and schemes available in Germany and offered by authorities and industry associations supporting export. By doing so, existing contacts, networks, export instruments, support instruments etc. and the knowledge of the participating actors/institutions will be incorporated into the initiative.

The picture shows the groups and institutions that build the RETech network.

During an initial phase (June to October 2007) a strategy paper on the development and the implementation of the initiative was drawn up and discussed by the actors/institutions involved at the conference Export Initiative Recycling and Efficiency Technologies (RETech) 2007.

On 11 September 2007 the Federal Environment Ministry hosted this conference in Bonn. This successful launch event in which around 150 experts participated gave important impetus. The initiative aims at providing long-term support for German enterprises regarding the export of recycling and efficiency technologies.
