Pennsylvania has a story to tell.

Team PA's foreign press tour series is designed to showcase the state as a great place to do business to an international audience.

From the shores of Lake Erie to the banks of the Delaware River, Pennsylvania’s economic leadership in important industries is world class.

That’s why Team PA created its International Press Tour Series – to showcase to global markets that Pennsylvania is a great place to do business.

Team PA, in cooperation with the Office of International Business Development, developed this series of tours to bring in foreign journalists from key global markets to get a first-hand look at the state’s top industries.

This series has highlighted Pennsylvania’s leadership in a vast array of sectors including, among others, the life sciences, alternative and renewable energy, defense technology, nanotechnology, plastics and creative services sectors.

Over the last nine tours, Team PA has flown in and hosted more than 50 journalists from some of the premier business media outlets throughout 13 countries on five continents.

Previous tours have already paid huge dividends in 40 positive PA-focused articles, eight TV and radio spots showcasing PA as a leader in each of these industries throughout the world, and have contributed to Conergy (the world’s largest solar-integration company) choosing PA as the U.S. headquarters for its newest venture.
