Those companies have investments in the state of more than $9.8 billion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These trips allow us the chance to put a face on Northeast Indiana for foreign corporations with an interest in doing business in the U.S.,&#8221; Sampson said. &#8220;By developing long-term relationships through repeated visits, we can demonstrate what business success looks like in our region. The more they see that success, the better than can see themselves doing business here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The growing global economy shifts competition from neighbors to foreign companies, while forcing states and regions to look beyond their borders for a competitive advantage. Northeast Indiana has logged six foreign trade missions in the five years since its inception. Sampson&#8217;s upcoming trip will be coordinated with another NEIRP foreign trade mission: Dale Buuck, director of business development, will travel to Europe. In Europe, Buuck will focus on manufacturing, engineering, defense and aerospace, and the medical device industries in the United Kingdom and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership<\/strong>: Created in 2006, the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership&#8217;s mission is to market the 10-county region and team with local economic development organizations (LEDOs) to bring new jobs and commercial investment to the area. The Partnership concluded a successful Investment campaign in October of 2006 targeting an initial operating period of five years. The RP&#8217;s global marketing efforts will be on behalf of LEDO&#8217;s in Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties. <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.aroundfortwayne.com\/main\/external-weblinks\/67-nonprofit-organizations\/81-neirp\">www.chooseneindiana.com<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/red_cross_signing.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels held a ceremonial bill signing on Monday, April 12, 2010, in his office at the Indiana Statehouse.
