Upon his return, he had much to report, releasing an op-ed about the time he spent sharing the Hoosier success story and working to build an economy of the future:
“The world has never been smaller and more connected, and we have made even more inroads in ensuring that Indiana is at the forefront of the global economy. At every stop, every meeting, every visit in Taiwan and South Korea, we are hearing the same message: Indiana is leading the way in building the industries and economy of the future.
“Our strong STEM universities, such as Purdue University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, make us an ideal partner in cultivating a skilled talent pipeline.
“Our current investments and partnerships are giving us great momentum in advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, electric vehicles, agbiosciences and life sciences.
“And, our focus on innovation and new technology will well position the state’s economy and, more importantly, Hoosiers for the next 5, 10, 15 and 20 years.
“This week, we have once again connected the state with eager partners across the globe, and it is abundantly clear — together we can provide the technology, the talent and the 21st century solutions to meet the demands of today and tomorrow in exciting fields.
“In Taipei, our delegation was met with much enthusiasm as I was the first US governor to visit since the pandemic. Taiwan has long been a global leader in chips and microelectronics, and I affirmed in my discussions with President Tsai Ing-wen and top government officials that Taiwan is building on this expertise and aims to build partnerships with states or countries that can work together to advance next generation industries, such telecommunications, electric vehicles, semiconductors, cybersecurity and sustainable energy.”
