Chinese Delegation Visits Northeast Ohio
In March, Team NEO hosted a delegation from China comprised of
six companies and representatives of the U.S. Department of
Commerce in Hong Kong. The companies were interested in investment
opportunities in Northeast Ohio and wished to familiarize
themselves with U.S. and Ohio business regulations.
During the visit, the group met with chambers of commerce and
government officials, including Akron Mayor Plusquellic and Canton
Mayor Healy. The group also met with Chinese companies already
established in Ohio, visited the National Polymer Innovation Center
in Akron and concluded their visit with a trip to the Pro Football
Hall of Fame in Canton.
Team NEO has already leveraged this opportunity to generate
three new international business attraction projects for the
region.
- China
- FDI
- International Activity
