Governor Mitch Daniels heads east next week on a mission to attract new jobs and investment from Japan and Taiwan, reports Inside INdiana Business.
The 78-person state delegation includes six members of the Indiana General Assembly and seven mayors; representatives of three Indiana universities (including Patrick O’Meara, newly-designated vice-president of International Affairs for Indiana University); 25 business leaders; 23 local economic development officials and longtime Nationalities Council of Indiana supporter Theresa A. Kulczak, executive director of the Japan-America Society of Indiana.
In addition to Governor Daniels, the state will be represented by Secretary of Commerce Pat Miller, IEDC President Mickey Maurer, and Agriculture Department Director Andy Miller.
It's a quick trip: the state delegation will depart Indianapolis on 30 July 30 and return on 7 August.
The governor will meet with government leaders in Taiwan and Japan as well as business leaders from potential investors including Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Fuji Heavy Industries, among others.
The delegation will also host three business seminars for potential investors, visit the Tochigi Prefecture (Indiana's sister-state in Japan) and tour the World Expo in Nagoya, Japan. The trip will conclude with a reception for Japanese business leaders prior to the Indianapolis Colts versus Atlanta Falcons pre-season game at the Tokyo Dome.
