In the latest episode of our podcast, "Indiana. For the Bold," IEDC's Nathan Brown speaks with Colin Bird, the Consul General of Canada in Detroit, about the vital economic relationship between the U.S. and Canada, particularly Indiana. Bird oversees four states, including Indiana, and discusses the robust trade and investment ties, highlighting the state's significant connections with Canadian corporations and small businesses. We discuss the ins and outs of the recent memorandum of understanding signed between Indiana and Ontario, the strategic cooperation in sectors like EV infrastructure, hydrogen, life sciences, and agriculture, and the fundamental efforts that make Indiana a key player in foreign direct investment.
