TRENTON, N.J. — Governor Phil Murphy will lead a high-profile delegation on a four-day economic mission to Canada in September, aiming to enhance New Jersey’s economic ties with its northern neighbor. The mission, organized by Choose New Jersey, will include visits to Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal, and will focus on strengthening partnerships in the film, technology, and investment sectors.

“Our efforts to bolster New Jersey’s thriving film and fintech industries must extend beyond both state lines and national borders,” Governor Murphy said. “It is only fitting that we deepen our economic ties with Canada while exploring new opportunities to solidify our status as a global leader in these fields. I look forward to engaging with Canadian officials and industry leaders to showcase the opportunity that is ripe within our state.”

The mission will feature meetings with Canadian government officials and networking events with industry leaders in key sectors, including film, television, and technology. The goal is to highlight New Jersey’s strengths as a hub for business and innovation, and to attract international investment to the state.

Joining Governor Murphy on this mission will be First Lady Tammy Murphy, Choose New Jersey President & CEO Wesley Mathews, and New Jersey Economic Development Authority Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan. The delegation will depart New Jersey on Saturday, September 7, 2024, and return on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.

“This mission underscores our commitment to fostering international partnerships and attracting global businesses to our state,” said Wesley Mathews, President and CEO of Choose New Jersey. “We are excited to embark on this economic mission to Canada to highlight New Jersey’s value proposition as the best place for businesses and families.”

The trip is a key part of New Jersey’s ongoing efforts to position itself as a leader in the global economy, particularly in the burgeoning fields of film and technology.
