Governor’s Weekly Message Transcript:Creating Jobs Through Global Partnerships

Former Governor Jack Markell (2009-2017) | News | Date Posted: Friday, July 12, 2013

For the last several days, I’ve been in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel leading a trade mission on behalf of Delaware. We’ve had an incredible few days. We’ve met at the highest levels of government, with the Prime Minister and with the President, with the Director of Trade Promotion and with the Chief Economic Counselor to the Prime Minister. We’ve met with Universities and commercialization offices that are responsible for commercializing technology coming out of universities and putting them into the marketplace and into businesses. We’ve met with venture capitalists. We’ve met with other businesses. We’ve met with lawyers to build on the very strong relationship that Delaware has long had with Israel. The overwhelming majority of Israeli businesses that choose to incorporate in the USA choose to incorporate in Delaware and we wanted to build on that.
