2009 Asia Trade Mission Led to Visits with Chamber Members

John Sampson, President of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership recently returned from a two-week long trade mission to Asia with a delegation led by Governor Mitch Daniels. Stops during the trade mission included visits with government and business leaders in China and Japan.

The trade mission resulted in contacts with over 60 industry and government leaders from 45 corporations and agencies, including leads for regional visits in the near future. Global relationships and connections from the United States were renewed and extended through meetings, discussions and ceremonies with an emphasis on nurturing the ties between Indiana and Asian industries.

Sampson also met with business partners from companies with headquarters in our region; active Chamber members Do It Best and Fort Wayne Metals. Such meetings call attention to the growing number of relationships and presence of northeast Indiana and the state in Asia.
