"Q. What is CommerceConnect?
A. CommerceConnect is an economic development initiative launched by Secretary Locke last year. The initiative provides streamlined and coordinated "one- stop" assistance to facilitate American businesses' access to the Department of Commerce's 70+ programs, products, services, and partner resources, including other federal, state, local and nonprofit programs. CommerceConnect's mission is to support U.S. business innovation and entrepreneurship; enhance economic resiliency; assist job creation; and help American firms transform themselves into globally competitive enterprises. This is accomplished by efficiently and effectively connecting U.S. businesses with Department of Commerce and partner resources that meet their needs at every point in their life cycle through a "no wrong door" approach to accessing enterprise assistance."

Final Days to Apply for U.S. Clean Technology Trade & Investment Mission
"The final application deadline will be November 1, 2010 for community delegates interested in participating in the U.S. Commerce Department’s U.S. Clean Technology Trade & Investment Mission (Cleantech Mission) in France and Belgium.
Led by Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Brian McGowan, the mission will bring together a mix of U.S. community delegates (representatives from U.S. states, counties, cities, towns, and regions) and businesses within their regions to catalyze the process of connecting U.S. communities with opportunities to increase exports and attract foreign direct investment (FDI), with a particular emphasis on advancing the green economy and creating jobs in the United States.
The week-long Cleantech Mission is being held from November 29 – December 4, 2010 and will begin in Lyon, France at Pollutec, the world's leading international tradeshow for the environment and sustainable development markets. The trip will conclude in Brussels, Belgium where U.S. communities and companies will participate in a U.S. Embassy reception, NATO cleantech roundtable with procurement officers, Invest in America event, and other networking sessions.
EDA will cover registration costs to ease the financial burden on community delegates interested in participating to pursue foreign direct investment (FDI) opportunities for their communities. Please note that communities still will be responsible for community delegate travel costs as well as the $400 participation fee and travel costs for any additional participants.
For more information, visit http://export.gov/cleantechmission/ or contact Laura Stierle at lstierle@eda.doc.gov.
About the U.S. Economic Development Administration (www.eda.gov): This year, EDA marks 45 years of public service, with a mission of leading the federal economic development agenda by promoting competitiveness and preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. EDA partners with distressed communities throughout the United States to foster job creation, collaboration, and innovation."
