The Digital Energy Business Trip (dGR) is an instrument of the Export Initiative Energy (EIE) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE). This business trip aims to support market entry and business development for German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) active in energy infrastructure, charging infrastructure and e-mobility in the target markets of the Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.
It combines a focused market assessment with a digital expert conference and targeted business match-making to facilitate early-stage cooperation and project development.
Target Market Information
The Pacific Island countries of Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands are increasingly developing into attractive partners for international cooperation. Despite limited market size and structural challenges, their ambitious reforms, investment programs, and sustainability strategies offer a wide range of opportunities for trade and business. In particular, the expansion of renewable energy, the electrification of transport and shipping, and the modernization of infrastructure are creating a dynamic environment with strong demand for innovative solutions and technologies.
Framework and Organisation
The event is organised by Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG, an implementing partner of the German Energy Export Initiative, in cooperation with the German–New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (AHK New Zealand). For questions regarding participation on the German side, please contact Laura Scharlach (RENAC).
