EU Ambassador Addresses Cincinnati at Skilled Labor Workforce Conference

“Last month, I addressed the Cincinnati European – American Chamber of Commerce conference on Skilled Labor Workforce. Though speaking by video conference from Washington DC, it was clear to me that many regional business leaders in attendance see investment in human capital as not only key to economic recovery on both sides of the Atlantic, but also to our future growth and competitiveness in the global economy. Congratulations to all for taking the time to engage in this important dialogue.”
