Chris speaks with Tony Vernaci, Vice President Global Business Development, Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), about Tony’s recent trip to India. One of the reasons for the focus on India is because of the similarities in industries.

The purpose of the trip included:

• Follow-up on leads that were generated during the Global Business Summit that was held in October, with Lt. Governor Brian Calley;
• Work on existing prospects that are already in the pipeline, as it takes time to cultivate new leads, and also time to close a deal;
• The final purpose of the trip was to conduct interviews for an in-country resource the MEDC is planning on hiring.
