Michigan Governor Embarks on a Strategic Trade Mission to Germany
In a bid to strengthen economic ties and boost job creation, Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer is on her second trade mission to Germany this year. This visit underscores the state’s commitment to fostering international partnerships and attracting investments.
Governor Whitmer emphasized the significance of such initiatives, stating, “Michigan is open for business, and we’ve continued to go anywhere and compete with everyone to bring good-paying jobs and investments back home.” She highlighted Germany’s role in Michigan’s economic landscape, noting their substantial investments and contributions to the state’s manufacturing and innovation sectors.
The itinerary for Whitmer and her delegation includes attending Europe’s largest electronics design and manufacturing event. In addition, they will engage with business leaders and government officials to explore further avenues for economic collaboration.
This mission follows a series of international trade visits by Whitmer in her final year as governor, including trips to Italy, Switzerland, and South Korea, aimed at enhancing Michigan’s global business connections.
With her tenure concluding in less than two months, Whitmer is set to be succeeded by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who will continue to lead Michigan’s efforts in fostering economic growth and international partnerships.
