Governor Lamont visits Connecticut’s #1 Economic Partner: Germany

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that from July 15 through July 19, 2024, he will be leading a delegation of officials from Connecticut on an economic development mission in Germany, where they will meet with the leadership of several German-based companies to discuss expanding their businesses in Connecticut.

“We have more than 100 German companies with operations in Connecticut,” (John) Bourdeaux said. “Last year, we announced four German expansions and new operations in Connecticut that created more than 300 new jobs, $87 million in capital expenditures, and more than 309,000 square feet of new facilities. Germany is a key market for us, and German companies are the third highest source of foreign employment in our state, representing more than 12,400 jobs. This visit will cultivate the relationships with our existing companies to keep them while developing new opportunities for our state.”
