President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel weren’t the only ones in attendance for the world’s largest industrial fair, which recently took place in Hanover, Germany – Northern Kentucky was there as well.
Tri-ED President Dan Tobertge, along with Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, used the five-day event to network with potential international partners and showcase the opportunities for foreign direct investment in Northern Kentucky.
The Hannover Messe fair enjoyed its largest-ever turnout, with the Kentucky Business Reception, hosted by Governor Bevin, attracting nearly 80 high-level private and public sector individuals.
