U.K.-Minnesota Trade and Investment: An Enduring Partnership

Online registration is closed. Walk-ins welcome.

The U.K.-U.S. relationship is the world’s largest bilateral investment relationship. The U.K.-Minnesota relationship is equally important. Minnesota exports nearly $400 million in goods and services to the U.K., while U.K. companies in Minnesota support more than 1,600 jobs.

Global Minnesota and the U.K. Government Office, Minneapolis/St. Paul cordially invite you to a special reception to welcome the new British Consul General in Chicago, John Saville.

Join fellow business executives, government, and community leaders for active networking and discussions around trade and investment between Minnesota and the U.K. Registration includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine.
