ITC's Asian Business Tour

"Investing In America" 

Today we held an "Investing in America" seminar in the City of Taipei. Many local business leaders and scholars were in attendance.

Former Harris County Judge Robert   Eckels made a special trip to Taipei and told the audience how to make the best investment in America, especially in Texas. We are now the best economic spot in America. He pointed out that Asian businesses should consider moving part of their operations to the United States to diversified their markets.

Mr. Mark Hsieh is a franchise business specialist and explained the process of doing business in America. He also bought many Asian franchises when he came to America.

Another young educator, James Liu, presented information on his Space Center Camp that he has been doing for last eighteen years. More than 22 countries have sent their young students to Houston to join the space camp to learn more about the space center program.

In conclusion, I summarized the function of the Houston International Trade Center over the last twenty years. We held many trade missions around the world to promote the trade and cultural relationships between Texas and many countries. 

On this trade mission we visited Malaysia and Singapore and Taipei was our last city.

We are so grateful that we met so many local business and community leaders to continue to promote our relationships.
