Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has begun a week-long investment mission to Europe to attract job-creating investments and foster diplomatic partnerships.
Whitmer and the Team Michigan delegation will attend Eurosatory, the world’s leading conference on defense and security.
Whitmer will be the only governor in attendance at Eurosatory, pitching Michigan as the best place for global investment.
“Michigan is open for business and on the move, working with anyone and competing with anyone to onshore good-paying jobs for Michiganders,” said Whitmer. “On this investment mission, we’ll strengthen ties with European allies, showcase Michigan’s leadership in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and innovation, and bring home new opportunities that create good-paying jobs for Michiganders. Let’s keep working together to attract investment, grow our economy, and ensure Michigan remains a top destination for companies looking to expand and succeed.”
Members of the Team Michigan delegation include leadership from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC): CEO Quentin L. Messer, Jr., and Office of Defense and Aerospace Innovation (ODAI) Executive Director Col. John T. Gutierrez, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.).
Additional members of the delegation include Marc Corriveau, Senior Vice President & Chief Government Relations Officer, Henry Ford Health System; Laura Appel, Executive Vice President, Michigan Health and Hospital Association; and Phil Yeiter, Senior Director of Government Relations, Priority Health/Corewell Health.
