Gov. Tony Evers announced that the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) and the Agence Économique Régionale (AER) of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (BFC) region in France have approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to promote closer economic and educational relations between the two organizations. The agreement creates a framework for the two entities to coordinate, facilitate the exchange of expertise, foster the development of collaborative projects, and assist with the growth and development of companies in their respective territories.
“Here in Wisconsin, we’ve been proud to create and maintain strong partnerships with our friends abroad, and this partnership with the BFC region of France is a big step forward toward ensuring the continued growth, expansion, and certainty for our local businesses and regional economies,” said Gov. Evers. “Especially as we continue to see global trade uncertainty and chaos out of Washington, I’m proud of my administration’s efforts to develop and maintain partnerships and friendships with international partners that will continue to pay dividends for Wisconsin’s future economic success for future generations, and this partnership is proof of that good work.”
