According to Trade and Industry Undersecretary and Board of Investments managing head Elmer C. Hernandez, the delegates include Central Luzon governors and officials.
The trade and investment mission will specifically visit San Francisco and Los Angeles, California from Sept. 26 to Oct. 4.
The Central Luzon governors include Gov. Tomas N. Joson III of Nueva Ecija, Gov. Josefina M. dela Cruz of Bulacan, Gov. Bellaflor Angara-Castillo of Aurora, and representatives of the provinces of Zambales and Pampanga, as well as other local government officials.
The CL governors plan to meet with several US-based companies during the mission.
The Philippine contingent will present current developments in Central Luzon, and its potential as investment destination for US companies, particularly in the information technology and enabled services.
The local government officials will present opportunities for specific investments to their respective provinces.
The CLICC, Hernandez noted, is the most active regional council in the country in promoting their regions to foreign investors.
The CLICC, Hernandez said, was encouraged by the result of the Hong Kong investment mission it conducted last May 18.
Hong Kong positively responded to their visit by sending 300 investors who sent to Clark and other parts of Central Luzon to explore investment opportunities.
The CL officials will also participate in the 21st Philippine American Exposition Home Show and Auto Show in Los Angeles.
