Perry Trimper, Parliamentary Assistant to the Premier, will join the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology in attending the 2024 Southeastern United States-Canadian Provinces (SEUS-CP) conference from August 4 to 6, 2024, in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Newfoundland and Labrador hosted the SEUS-CP conference last year in St. John’s. This year’s conference builds on the themes of the green and blue economies that Newfoundland and Labrador selected for last year’s conference by focusing on ocean technology industries and the blue economy, as well as advanced manufacturing.

The SEUS-CP Alliance was established in 2007 to enhance trade and investment, promote business partnerships, and encourage technological and scientific exchanges between member provinces and states. The conference brings together top government officials including governors and premiers, business leaders from companies of all sizes in a variety of sectors, as well as trade, investment and economic development stakeholders. Opportunities to forge connections, grow partnerships, as well as share views and ideas on ways to expand commerce between members of the Alliance, are a few of the many benefits expected during this three-day event.
