Notice of Recruitment for the Clean 

EDGE Asia Business Development 

Mission to Indonesia and Vietnam 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The International Trade 

Administration (ITA), United States 

Department of Commerce, is 

announcing recruitment for the Clean 

EDGE Asia Business Development 

Mission to Indonesia and Vietnam 

(previously announced and published 

in the Federal Register as the Asia 

EDGE Business Development Mission to 

Indonesia and Vietnam). The Mission 

will be hosted from June 6–10, 2022, 

with dates, fee structure, and scope as 

outlined below. The Mission includes 

stops to Indonesia and Vietnam, with an 

optional stop to the Philippines. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

dates, pricing, and scope for the Clean 

EDGE Asia Business Development 

Mission to Indonesia and Vietnam. 

Background 

The International Trade 

Administration (ITA), United States 

Department of Commerce, is 

announcing dates, pricing, and scope for 

the executive-led Clean EDGE Asia 

Business Development Mission to 

Indonesia and Vietnam. The Mission 

will take place from June 6–10, 2022 

and includes stops to Indonesia (Jakarta) 

and Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City and 

Hanoi), with an optional program in the 

Philippines (Manila) from June 13–14, 

2022. The Mission was previously 

announced and published in the 

Federal Register as the Asia EDGE 

Business Development Mission (84 FR 

48590) and was initially scheduled for 

March 16–24, 2020. The Mission was 

postponed multiple times due to 

COVID–19. The Mission is now being 

organized under the Biden-Harris 

Administration’s new Indo-Pacific clean 

energy initiative, Clean EDGE Asia, and 

is focused on promoting U.S. products 

and services exports that strengthen 

energy security, enhance energy access, 

promote open and efficient energy 

markets, and advance clean energy and 

climate goals in Southeast Asia. 

The Mission will support the U.S. 

vision to grow sustainable, secure, and 

clean energy markets throughout Asia 

by promoting U.S. exports, mobilizing 

private sector investment, removing 

trade barriers, and strengthening 

standards and procurement practices. 

Drawing on expertise and resources 

from across the U.S. government, this 

trade mission will advance global efforts 

to realize net-zero emissions by 

midcentury, while supporting the 

strategic objectives of strengthening 

energy security, expanding energy 

access, and promoting energy markets 

that are open, efficient, rule-based, and 

transparent. The Mission will highlight 

the range of energy sectors in which 

U.S. companies are competitive, 

including those that are at the forefront 

of supporting efforts to reduce global 

greenhouse gas emissions and 

decarbonize the energy sector. The 

Mission will build on several existing 

energy programs and events, including 

those organized under the U.S.- 

Indonesia and U.S.-Vietnam Energy 

Industry Networks. 

Mission participants will have the 

opportunity to meet with key Southeast 

Asian decision makers to discuss how to 

foster policies, regulations, and 

financial investment that support the 

development of sustainable, secure, and 

profitable energy markets. Mission 

participants will network with regional 

government officials, be introduced to 

prospective business partners, and 

facilitate discussions on best practices 

in their areas of technical expertise. 

Participants will gain market insights, 

make industry contacts, solidify 

business strategies, discuss enabling 

policies, and advance specific projects, 

with the primary goal of increasing U.S. 

exports of products and services to the 

Indo-Pacific. The Mission will include 

customized one-on-one business 

appointments, meetings with state and 

local government officials, and 

networking events. Participation will be 

open to energy sector stakeholders 

meeting the prerequisites for 

participation outlined in the Conditions 

of Participation. 

Best Prospects 

The below list, while not exhaustive, 

identifies key products, services, and 

technologies that would be an 

appropriate fit for the trade mission. 

Companies across all energy sectors are 

welcome to apply. ITA is committed to 

assembling a trade mission delegation 

that is representative of a broad range of 

energy sectors, with an emphasis on 

those sectors that advance clean and 

sustainable energy goals.
