Last week, I had the privilege of joining an incredible group of leaders from Illinois on a trade mission to Japan to talk all things quantum technology, energy, manufacturing, bioprocessing, and more, sharing Illinois’ innovative strengths in these dynamic sectors and opportunities for global companies to #BeinIllinois During our time in Tokyo, we connected with embassy officials, university leaders, industry experts, and startup innovators, nurturing existing relationships, exchanging best practices, and exploring new avenues for economic growth—all against the vibrant backdrop of this amazing city. And even 6,000 miles away from home, there were so many important moments of personal and professional connection within #Teamillinois – from coming together around quantum in Illinois to huddling around too few chairs discussing the future of energy to finally getting ramen in an alley. A huge thank you to Governor JB Pritzker and his entire team, state leadership, Intersect Illinois and all the heavy lifting they did to make this happen, Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, JETRO - Japan External Trade Organization , and so so many more for orchestrating this incredible trip. I am truly grateful for the shared experiences and eager to continue these conversations with old and new friends. (Kara Demirjian Huss, it wouldn't let me tag you in the pics, so you get a standalone tag down here!)
