Michael Edgar's meeting with the Malaysian Trade Office
|
|
Michael Edgar recently met with representatives from Malaysia's Trade Office and Anderson Global (the next iteration of Andersen Consulting) to explore new partnerships and opportunities.
The trip was to discuss opportunities in Malaysia by U.S. investors as well as opportunities for Malaysian companies to expand to the United States. A long discussion of renewable energy components and solar investments took place.
As part of the discussion, all were encouraged to help develop a familiarization tour with the local international trade office that covers Texas to learn more about the Texas America Center (TAC) in Texarkana, Texas. The proposed familiarization trip aims to showcase TAC's state-of-the-art facilities, infrastructure, and business-friendly atmosphere, catering to foreign firms seeking to establish or expand operations in the United States. By visiting the TAC site firsthand, local firms can gain a comprehensive understanding of the numerous benefits and incentives available to them. During the discussion, Michael Edgar emphasized TAC's strategic position, world-class amenities, and supportive ecosystem, which encourages development and success for enterprises in a variety of industries.
The Malaysian Trade Office officials showed a strong desire to learn more about the prospects available at TAC and how Malaysian firms might enter the thriving Texas market.
Both sides discussed the logistics in organizing the familiarization visit, which would include a complete itinerary highlighting TAC's industrial facilities, transportation networks, workforce development programs, and the overall business climate in the region.
