Hi, I’m Ron DeBarr, president and CEO of NEOTEC, the Northeast Ohio Trade & Economic
Consortium, Located in Northeast Ohio. We’re a nine county regional economic development
organization. We’ve been coming to Hannover now for probably
15 years in a row. And this year we have the pleasure to have the support and partnership
of the US Commercial Service, US Economic Development Administration, as well as Invest
in America. It certainly is adding a new dimension to our presence here in Hannover.
Traffic is picking up today, we have several appointments scheduled and we hope to come
out of here with some good projects. Again, this is how the world does business, and if
you’re not here, you’re certainly not going to do any business.
It’s really good to get out and to reach out into this global economy, to attract whatever
we can to create some jobs for citizens, particularly in our regions.
