(Indianapolis, IN) – Gov. Eric Holcomb, First Lady Janet Holcomb and Secretary of Commerce David Rosenberg are visiting Australia and Singapore this week as part of an economic development trip.

It’s Holcomb’s 24th trip overseas as governor, and is focusing on advanced manufacturing, defense and energy.

“Indiana is celebrating win after win thanks to our strategic focus on cultivating a globally minded, future economy,” said Gov. Holcomb. “Australia and Singapore both represent significant partnership opportunities due to their strengths in bolstering innovation, attracting and developing talent and cultivating growth in critical sectors. I look forward to taking Indiana’s message across the Pacific and working to foster new opportunities for our businesses and our residents.”

The governor’s office says the cost of travel is being paid through private donations to the Indiana Economic Development Foundation.  

The delegation will meet with government officials and business leaders, aiming to foster new business opportunities and partnerships for Indiana.

They departed on Saturday and will return to Indiana on July 30.
