We joined our EU Homs colleagues for a truly inspiring exchange with Dee Dee Myers, Senior Advisor to Governor Gavin Newsom and Director of GO-Biz. We had a frank and insightful conversation about California’s economy, trade and investment ties, and the broader transatlantic relationship. The discussion underscored California’s remarkable appeal, while also shedding light on the opportunities and challenges that foreign businesses may encounter when investing here. It was also a timely exchange in view of the important electoral appointments California will face this November. Our sincere thanks to Dee Dee Myers and her team for their time and openness, to the Consulate General of Belgium for the kind hospitality, and to the Irish Presidency for organizing the meeting.
