European Business Development Mission
The Philadelphia Orchestra is a global ambassador for Pennsylvania. In keeping with the Orchestra’s tour schedule, the delegation from Pennsylvania was able to open doors to new business, thanks in part to the generosity of the Philadelphia Orchestra providing complimentary tickets for senior executives and regional partners to join PA officials at the concerts. The delegation held:
- 23 meetings with investment prospects
- 6 planned in-bound visits to Pennsylvania
- 11 meetings with multipliers
This best-practice share of knowledge, culture, and new ideas inspired change for the future and strengthened the bond between Pennsylvania and the communities in each market the delegation visited. Strategic partners for this mission included:
- The Philadelphia Orchestra
- City of Philadelphia, Department of Commerce
- PA Authorized Investment Representatives
- Lehigh Valley Economic Development Council
- Global Philadelphia
- Select Greater Philadelphia
- British American Chamber of Commerce
- French American Chamber of Commerce
- German American Chamber of Commerce
- En Route Marketing
- Grimm and Grove Communications
