SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – Governor Pete Ricketts recently welcomed back a trade delegation made up of trade representatives from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development, Nebraska Innovation Campus (NIC), Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development, and Gage Area Growth Enterprise (NGage). The delegation met with companies and industry associations in Seoul, South Korea, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 9-10, to promote Nebraska as a destination for foreign direct investment.
“South Korea has been a strong international partner of Nebraska’s for years,” said Governor Ricketts. “Shared values of hard work and loyalty have cultivated a strong and prosperous relationship. As our fifth-largest export market, South Korea provides numerous opportunities for Nebraskans every year, and we are working to grow trade opportunities and partnerships.”
On Tuesday evening, the group met with approximately 40 representatives from the South Korean business community at a reception hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. During the reception, Governor Ricketts welcomed Korean guests via a recorded address and invited them to visit Nebraska and explore opportunities for business and investment. Members of the trade delegation also had the opportunity to pitch Nebraska communities as potential locations for investment from Korean companies.
