Doyle invites Wisconsin businesses to join trade mission to India
Published May 14, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle will lead a trade mission to India in November.
Wisconsin's exports to India have grown by 29 percent in the last year.
"This trade mission to India is an outstanding opportunity for Wisconsin companies to meet the customers and business leaders that will help them build their sales in these important markets," Doyle said. "It's a good thing if a Wisconsin company finds a strong partner in a rapidly growing country like India and creates jobs in Wisconsin through exports."
Doyle invited Wisconsin business leaders to join him on the trade mission to India.
Doyle announced the new trade mission at the Wisconsin International Trade Conference in Milwaukee on Tuesday, when he also unveiled the recipients of the Governor's Export Achievement Awards.
"Wisconsin's exports have grown more than 80 percent during my terms in office, and our growth continues to climb," Doyle said. "As governor, I'm determined to build on this success and help our businesses continue to reach new markets. I'm proud to recognize these Wisconsin companies and institutions that have demonstrated leadership and innovation in responding successfully to international market challenges. They are building a great name for Wisconsin around the globe."
