Welcome to the 2017 International Leadership Mission to
Mexico: Guadalajara and Mexico CityDear Regional Leader:
Welcome to the 2016 International Leadership Mission. During this trip, we will foster stronger, deeper relationships and lasting connections with key leaders and businesses in China for the betterment of the Seattle region’s economy. We’re pleased to have Seattle Mayor Ed Murray and John Schoettler, Seattle Metro Chamber board chair and director of global real estate and facilities for Amazon—Seattle’s largest private employer—leading our delegation.
Expanding Partnerships with Hong Kong and ShenzhenOur visit has attracted the attention of several significant Chinese companies, openingup remarkable business development opportunities. In Hong Kong, we will welcome notable leaders like John Slosar, who is the chairman and director of Swire Properties Limited as well as chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways, which has a long-standing partnership with Boeing. Mr. Slosar will be our featured speaker at a dinner where we will have the honor of hosting presidents and CEOs of many Chinese companies. We’ll also have the opportunity to hear insights on our region’s investment potential from prominent investors such as Goodwin Gaw, chairman of Gaw Capital partners, the new owner of Columbia Center.
In Shenzhen, we will build upon the special relationship between our two cities. Last year, a 100-person delegation from Shenzhen came to Seattle to forge partnerships between our respective civic, academic and business entities. We will make site visits to several companies and organizations involved in these partnerships, including Vanke and Beijing Genomics Institute. Additionally, we will see firsthand how Seattle businesses and organizations like Starbucks, NBBJ, and PATH have engaged in this technology and manufacturing hub. We will also have a day dedicated to showcasing our region with our counterparts in Shenzhen, and are very pleased that the trip will culminate in some exciting announcements.
Learning and ApplyingIn addition to providing substantial business development opportunities, this action-oriented trip will cover topics such as environmental sustainability, high-tech innovation and much more. We look forward to working with all of you to apply lessons from Shenzhen and Hong Kong to strengthen our own region.
We thank you for taking part in this effort and joining us on our 23rd International Leadership Mission.
“A” Boungjaktha Maud DaudonPresident President & CEOTrade Development Alliance Seattle Metro Chamber
