Intersolar’s organisers have reiterated their support of young and innovative companies in the solar industry today, and will continue to offer reduced rates for such participants at Intersolar 2009. The solar technology trade show has entered into a support initiative with the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) in presenting Germany as an attractive location for starting a business.

The initiative was launched last year, and involves the coverage of 80% of booth rental and set-up by the BMWi for those participating young companies. This year, Intersolar has increased the shared booth of the sponsored companies by 20% to 300m2, and it is anticipated that at least 15 innovative companies will be availing of the incentive at this year’s show.
