The French Trade Commission UBIFRANCE in London will present 18 companies on the French Pavilion at Ecobuild — the world’s leading event for construction, sustainable design and the built-environment sector. The trade show takes place at ExCeL, in London, from 20 to 22 March 2012. The Pavilion will showcase innovative companies in the field of environmentally friendly construction.
France’s government has set similar low-carbon objectives to the UK’s, but with the added challenge of meeting the requirements of the country’s eight different temperature zones. The size and climatic diversity of France have ensured that French-based companies offer a range of flexible products and services with a global reputation for quality and adaptability in the field of eco-construction.
The French Trade Commission UBIFRANCE in the UK is organising the French pavilion at Ecobuild, in London, from 20 to 22 March of this year; the pavilion will occupy stands N1220, N1230 and N1320.
