Governor Beshear says a six-day economic trip to Germany last week proved successful in more ways than one. The governor said he had about 20 meetings and joked he saw a lot of boardrooms across Germany. Beshear sees opportunities for the Commonwealth as German business leaders reassess their plans in the U.S.
“Germany is definitely looking to the United States right now to expand their investments. They’ve been investing in China. I think there is now a big switch to the United States and this was a chance to get in front of them and these family-owned companies, some of the biggest companies in the world, family-owned companies,” said Beshear.
