Gov. Phil Murphy will head an economic mission to the United Kingdom next month to promote the state’s technology and life sciences sectors.
Murphy will depart New Jersey on Wednesday, November 6 – the day after the election – and return on November 12. He will observe Veterans Day while in the United Kingdom. Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way will serve as acting governor during that time.
“We are excited to lead this economic mission to the United Kingdom to bolster New Jersey’s relationships with our friends and partners across the pond,” Murphy said. “I look forward to meeting with United Kingdom officials and industry leaders to address our mutual goals. As we build up New Jersey’s innovation economy, international investments are key to attracting more jobs and opportunity for the people of the Garden State.”
Choose New Jersey is organizing the delegation of government and industry leaders to London and Cambridge. First Lady Tammy Murphy will accompany her husband on the trip.
