“I am thrilled that BPC has been approved for the GIA program, which will help BPC establish our physical presence and business team in the USA. The demand for our products in North America is increasing rapidly, making it crucial for us to expand our business network. Our recently signed service license agreement with Digester Doc LLC for a new Service Center in Bosie, Idaho, is a significant first step. The GIA program will further provide us with valuable resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help us achieve our goals and I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to the benefits it will bring to our business expansion in North America.” 

As BPC’s products continue to gain increasing interest in North America, the Company’s strategy is to strengthen its business network and establish its own physical presence and local business team.

Through the program, BPC will receive a grant of 240 000 SEK from the Swedish Energy Agency with a grant component requirement of 60 000 SEK match funding from the Company, making the total amount 300 000 SEK. The funding will be paid out in two separate payments, 114 000 SEK in 2023 and 96 000 SEK in 2024. The funding will be used to engage international industry experts and business consultants. By leveraging available resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities, BPC stands to benefit from valuable insights and connections that can aid in expediting its business expansion plans in the North American region.
