Gov. Mary Fallin will lead a delegation of seven Oklahoma aerospace companies to the Farnborough International Air Show in England next week.
Fallin will attend the air show on July 9 and July 10. Officials from the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, the Tulsa Metro Chamber and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce also will attend.
The Farnborough International Airshow is one of the largest aviation events in the world. The show is estimated to attract more than 130,000 visitors, and will be attended by about trade delegations from more than 40 different countries.
Businesses will have to wait even longer for the Green Deal, as the Government has postponed the scheduled October launch of this promising scheme. The Green Deal is a financial initiative to support households, big companies and small businesses becoming more energy efficient and was due to be rolled out in October 2012. However, the Department of Energy and Climate Change have decided to delay the launch for businesses due to general confusion over requirements. A spokeswoman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) said one of reasons the launch is being put back for businesses is because requirements for commercial properties are more complex than domestic buildings.
