Several Canadian Government initiatives will be undertaken at OI'06 to support the international business development efforts of participating Canadian ocean technology companies, including the following:

• the Canadian High Commission in London is designing a web site dedicated to the Canadian companies exhibiting at OI'06 (www.canadaoi06.co.uk). The site, which will be available to international clients, is expected to be operational by the end of January;
• the Canadian High Commission in London will organize an evening reception for all Canadian companies and their UK representatives/agents, or European agents/reps if they are there for OI'06, and Federal and Provincial government officials to meet with High Commission staff involved in the ocean technology sector;
• development and distribution of a Canadian ocean technology directory;
• the Canadian High Commission in London will be sponsoring the OI'06 Route Planner, which each visitor will receive at the beginning of the show. Exhibiting Canadian companies will have their stand highlighted on the floor plan and their company name highlighted in the exhibitor listing on the Route Planner;
