Gov. Wes Moore will travel to Japan and South Korea on an economic development trip in April after the annual legislative session ends in Annapolis.
The week of travel starting April 11 will mark Moore’s first official international “trade mission” and his second time traveling overseas with the goal of enticing foreign companies to invest in Maryland.
Moore, in a statement responding to a request for comment for this story, said the state needs to “make big bets on industries of the future — from quantum to life sciences to aerospace and defense” in order to grow.
“I look forward to meeting with leaders in Japan and South Korea, who are on the cutting edge of innovation in fields that will unlock Maryland’s full potential,” Moore said. “We are ready and eager to build out our relationships with committed foreign partners in a way that is mutually beneficial to our interests—and delivers results for Marylanders.”
