Over 60 companies in the automotive and semiconductor industries, mostly from Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Ireland, converged in Phoenix for expansion opportunities, marking the city’s first time hosting a spinoff event from the annual SelectUSA Investment Summit. The event, which was the largest business delegation ever hosted by the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, was held in April, and focused on the electric and autonomous vehicle and semiconductor industries. Participants learned about networking with industry leaders, roundtable discussions, tours and presentations on education, workforce and expanding and operating in the US and Phoenix region. Phoenix’s pitch for the delegation focused on its growing workforce and location convenience.
