About the Event

Greater Phoenix’s economic growth is increasingly shaped by its relationship with the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. As global supply chains evolve and U.S. industrial policy continues to influence advanced manufacturing, APAC investment and trade have become central to the region’s competitiveness, particularly within the semiconductor ecosystem.


Join us for the upcoming Ambassador Event: APAC Insights, featuring an expert panel of Allison Grigg, Director of State Government Affairs at Amkor Technology; Dexter Ho, Manager, Phoenix Branch at Starlux Airlines; and Eric Park, External Affairs & General Project Manager at LG Energy Solution Arizona, Inc.

 

This conversation will offer insight into how APAC investment decisions are being shaped today and what it will take to ensure Greater Phoenix remains a competitive and resilient partner in the global supply chain.
