Ohio’s business climate attracts companies worldwide. Japan, like many countries that have invested in Ohio, has witnessed the success of Japanese investments in the state. As a result, Japan places high value on the relationship it has with Ohio stakeholders. Keidanren, the Japan Business Federation, visited Ohio to build on an already strong relationship between the state and Japanese business leaders, citing that Ohio is their most important partnership.
Foreign companies are crucial to Ohio’s economy. Ohio has seen an impressive amount of growth in part because of their continuous investments in the state’s economy. In order to maintain a healthy relationship with foreign investors, Ohio will have a strong presence at the 2017 SelectUSA Investment Summit.
The collaborative effort by many of our economic development teams in Ohio brings hundreds of jobs to our state. Ohio’s ability to attract foreign investors receives international and national recognition.
