Governor Leads Green Business Development Mission to Sweden

ANNAPOLIS, MD (June 10, 2009)

Governor Martin O’Malley led a Maryland delegation through a packed agenda today in Sweden, meeting with Swedish bio and clean technology companies, touring an eco-friendly city, and addressing an American Chamber of Commerce reception.

Governor O’Malley began the day with Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister, Maud Olofsson, discussing details of a unique partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy, Sweden’s Energy Agency and Volvo to advance hybrid technology.

This $48 million international collaboration will directly benefit Maryland in the coming years as most of the research and development is slated to take place in Volvo’s Hagerstown facility.

The Governor then attended a breakfast meeting with Swedish bio industry leaders to discuss the State’s BioMaryland 2020 initiative and lay the groundwork for a Swedish delegation visit to Maryland later this year.

The Governor then toured Hammarby Sjostad, a lakeside, eco-friendly model city for urban redevelopment where waste, sewage and water is recycled to power houses and offices.

The delegation then met with 20 Swedish clean technology companies looking to expand in the U.S. as well as a Swedish alternative energy company that is successfully using poultry manure as a fuel source.

Governor O’Malley finished the day at an American Chamber of Commerce reception where he was asked to share details of his successful Smart, Green and Growing initiative as well as Maryland’s International Growth Strategy
