The German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest
(GACCoM) will bring a delegation of innovative German
companies who specialize in energy-saving technologies and
expertise for commercial and residential buildings to Chicago.
The delegation’s purpose is to generate discussion and
cooperation between German green building suppliers and
their U.S. counterparts, by introducing their technologies to
leading U.S. architects, construction firms and partners in the
industry.

This Green Building Innovation Conference will bring together
leading companies from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss
opportunities for cooperation and trends in energy efficient
building technology.
