Delegation Management

Bespoke Delegation Programmes to Attract Investment and Foster Global Connections

October 2024

Our partnership with Blue Link Worldwide, Inc. opened doors and expanded our network in the United Kingdom, a critically important market for our team. Organizing a multi-day roadshow is no small ask, but Dr. Levene’s multi-faceted professional approach proved up to the challenge. We were especially grateful for Blue Link Worldwide, Inc.’s willingness to partner with not just our team, but with a broader group of representatives and perspectives.

Case Study: Transatlantic Cooperation Opportunities

Brief & Background

In early 2024, the US state of North Carolina approached Blue Link Worldwide to manage their recent delegation to Manchester, UK.

The event was organised to build on the strong ties between the ‘Tar Heel’ state and the Greater Manchester region, as well as the UK-North Carolina Memorandum of Understanding.

North Carolina has the largest overall manufacturing workforce in the US Southeast region, the second largest engineering workforce in the US Southeast, and an overall GDP roughly equivalent to that of Switzerland. Unique strengths in biologics manufacturing, precision aerospace manufacturing, and automotive component manufacturing contribute to North Carolina’s status as a diversified manufacturing powerhouse.

Participants & Venue

Participants from North Carolina included Machelle Baker Sanders, Secretary of Commerce for the State of North Carolina, along with additional economic development executives from the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, Henderson County, and Union County.

Agenda

  • Meeting with Alan Fisher, MD, FAC at Farnborough Air Show, and Luigi Mercuri, MD Europe, North Carolina.
  • Dinner meeting with Paul Benton, MD of ABHI, and Luigi Mercuri, MD Europe, North Carolina.
