The Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance high profile delegation from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, visiting New York on a mission to increase U.S. and Baltic trade and investment, show the drive and determination behind the regions lead in economic growth.
The delegation of 30 business leaders participated in closing bell ceremony at NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City’s Times Square to mark the end of a successful 3 day visit to New York. In honour of the occasion, Kristian Kaas Mortensen, President of the BICG, rang the Closing Bell.
The purpose of the delegation was to facilitate and strengthen further U.S.-Baltic trade and investment, as well as provide networking and best practice Corporate Governance sharing with the leading U.S. corporations, such as Nasdaq OMX, Thomson Reuters, Deloitte, Microsoft, The Federal Reserve bank and Yale University.
“Visiting Nasdaq OMX here in Times Square is the highlight of a 3 day visit by a large delegation of Baltic business leaders. We had meetings with potential investors, something we hope will lead to increased trade and investment, that can further strengthen the US-Baltic friendship. The Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance delegates have left behind a clear message that the Baltic countries are open for business with the U.S. companies, and that the region continues its efforts to become an open, transparent and accountable investment destination,” said Mortensen.
