New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is set to lead an economic mission to the United Kingdom, aiming to strengthen ties and promote the state's technology and life sciences sectors. The five-day trip, organized by Choose New Jersey, will see Murphy and a delegation of industry and government leaders visit London and Cambridge from November 6 to November 12.
The mission will focus on cultivating partnerships and international investment opportunities. "We are excited to lead this economic mission to the United Kingdom to bolster New Jersey’s relationships with our friends and partners across the pond,” said Governor Murphy. “As we build up New Jersey’s innovation economy, international investments are key to attracting more jobs and opportunity for the people of the Garden State.”
The delegation will meet with elected government officials, regional leaders, and representatives from prominent companies, trade associations, leading academic institutions, and major investors. They will also network with industry leaders across key sectors, including technology, life sciences, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and fintech.
First Lady Tammy Murphy, Choose New Jersey President & CEO Wesley Mathews, and New Jersey Economic Development Authority Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan will be part of the delegation. The mission follows a similar delegation led by Governor Murphy to Canada in September.
