Governor Holcomb Takes Trip to South Korea and Taiwan

TAIPEI–Indiana Governor Holcomb is taking an “economic development trip” to Taiwan and the Republic of Korea. He will visit Taiwan over two days, during which both he and his staff will meet with business leaders, academic leaders, and government representatives.

The group will then travel to Seoul, South Korea for two days. He is supposed to return to Indianapolis on Saturday, Aug. 27.

Holcomb says he is committed to building an economy of the future with these two global partners “who are helping propel Indiana forward by creating tomorrow’s businesses, today.”

“This week marks my second trip to South Korea as Governor, and I am also proud to be the first U.S. governor to visit Taiwan since before the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m committed to building an economy of the future with these global partners who are helping propel Indiana forward by creating tomorrow’s businesses, today,” said Holcomb on Sunday.

Indiana Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers is also with the Governor.

“The unprecedented economic progress Indiana has secured this year doesn’t happen without like-minded partners here and around the world. A shared commitment to innovation and collaboration is key to continuing our success, and I’m thrilled to spend the week strengthening that collaboration with our friends in Taiwan and South Korea,” said Chambers.

On Aug. 22-23 in Taiwan, Holcomb and his delegation will meet with Taiwanese government and business leaders. On Aug. 25-26 in South Korea, they will meet with current and prospective business representatives and U.S. government leaders. Holcomb is supposed to highlight Indiana’s commitment to innovation to members of the American Chamber of Commerce.
