Gov. Eric Holcomb will take another international economic development trip this summer — this time to Australia and Singapore.

The trip will be Holcomb’s 24th as governor and first official visit to the countries of Australia and Singapore — and will have a focus on advanced manufacturing, defense and energy. Travel costs are covered by private donations to the Indiana Economic Development Foundation.

Holcomb, First Lady Janet Holcomb and David Rosenberg — Indiana’s Secretary of Commerce — will leave for Australia from Indianapolis on Saturday, July 20 and return from Singapore on July 30. The trio will be joined by other representatives from the Indianan Economic Development Corporation.

“Indiana is celebrating win after win thanks to our strategic focus on cultivating a globally minded, future economy,” said Holcomb in a release. “Australia and Singapore both represent significant partnership opportunities due to their strengths in bolstering innovation, attracting and developing talent and cultivating growth in critical sectors. I look forward to taking Indiana’s message across the Pacific and working to foster new opportunities for our businesses and our residents.”

Indiana’s imports and exports tally $1.8 billion with Australia and $944 million with Singapore. Indiana has 32 Australian business establishments, including C&R Racing, CSL Plasma, Everstream, Pratt Paper, Sales Pond and Tronics. Indiana has two Singaporean-owned businesses.

Hoosier companies CAI, Eli Lilly and Company and Zimmer Biomet operate in both Australia and Singapore.

The Australian leg of the trip will include meetings with American and Australian government officials, including New South Wales Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty and U.S. Consul General in Sydney Christine Elder. The group will attend a roundtable discussion at the U.S. Studies Centre at the University of Sydney.

Holcomb and Rosenberg will also meet with Australian businesses like Rux Energy, a technology company with a focus on hydrogen storage. Another portion of the trip will include meetings with government officials in Victoria, including a roundtable hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce and IFM Investors, a Melbourne-based company that has invested in the Indiana Toll Road.

After roughly a week in Australia, the delegation will go to Singapore to meet with more government officials and representatives of Enterprise Singapore — the government’s enterprise development office. The agency will host another roundtable open to business leaders and pitch Indiana as a competitive destination.

The Hoosiers State is home to more than 1,050 foreign-owned business establishments that span 40 countries and territories, according to the press release. These companies committed to investing $20.49 billion in 2023, more than double their 2022 investment and 71% of total committed capital investments in 2023.

WARSAW – Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer called it the epicenter of orthopedics, and on Thursday, the newest corporate resident — with facilities around the world — embraced its new address.

Mentor Media on Thursday celebrated its venture into the orthopedic capital with a celebration with the opening of a new 30,000 square foot sterile packaging facility on the west side of the city in the growing Warsaw Technology Park.

"What you are witnessing today is a combination of work and support from the city, the state of Indiana and the KEDCo organization,” said Lim Kok Khoon, president and CEO of Mentor Media, which is based in Singapore.

“We are definitely, without question, very happy to be here,” he said.

He went on to say they believe they can bring value to the existing “ecosystem” that makes up the hub or medical device manufacturers in Warsaw.

Specifically, what they hope to capitalize on is the company’s unique packaging system that promises device makers a 10-year shelf-life for its products.

Magnus Nilsson, president and CEO of Elanders, the parent company of Mentor Media who flew in from Sweden, thanked everyone and was playfully blunt about their expectations.

"Next time I am here, I also hope everything is running smooth. I met some potential clients here today so I hope we can keep us (in mind) so that I can get some return on my investment. Thanks everyone," Nilsson said.

David Rosenberg, the Indiana Secretary of Commerce, celebrated the success Warsaw and the state of Indiana is experiencing.

Rosenberg conveyed Gov. Eric Holcomb's mantra: "'We like to take Indiana to the world and ring the world to Indiana,' and there's no greater personification of that than here in Warsaw with companies from Switzerland, Germany, Singapore partnering here with the Indiana Capital of the World."

He also pointed that manufacturing growth in Warsaw is part of a statewide trend.

"Indiana's had huge momentum over the last two years. Just in the last 18 months, Indiana has been named the No. 1 place to start a business by Forbes. We've had $33 billion of new capital expenditures in the state. That's a figure that would normally take six years go achieve, but we've been able to do it in six months," Rosenberg said.

"This capital commitment is bringing high paying jobs — over 20 percent over the national average, creating real generational change," Rosenberg said.

Thallemer, who has directed growth of the Warsaw Technology Park over his 12 years in office, gave a quick recap on how the tech park has come together and the recalled when he first sat down with Mentor Media leaders who said they wanted a first class facility in the city.

He said the company wanted the entire orthopedic industry to know about their proficiencies in sterile packaging had been developed.

"They wanted to be in the place that the world looks to for orthopedic excellence," Thallemer said. "What they were most passionate about that morning was they wanted a Warsaw address."

"On behalf of the orthopedic capital of the world, we are happy to welcome you and your entire Mentor Media team, to to 1395 Polk Drive, Warsaw, Indiana, 46582."

"You're going to love the neighborhood," he added.
