Gov. Deval Patrick yesterday let slip that his administration is working on a pact with a Japanese agency that promotes foreign investment in the country as he defended his globetrotting to entrepreneurs, saying the frequent travels are part of "a strategy" to grow education, innovation and infrastructure in the Bay State.
At a briefing on his Innovation Economy Mission last December to Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore emceed by Jim Paul, director of the Boston office of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Patrick said his administration is working on a memorandum of understanding with the Japan External Trade Organization, a government-related agency, but was stopped short of elaborating by someone in the audience.
"I guess I'm not supposed to announce that today," Patrick said. "Stay tuned."
There are currently 130 Japanese companies in Massachusetts supporting 10,000 jobs as part of the state's $3 billion trade relationship with the country.
Patrick said his trade missions aren't about "how many fistfuls of purchase orders" he can bring home, but rather, "How many relationships can we deepen, can we create, can we extend."
But with little more than seven months left to serve on Beacon Hill, Patrick, said it will be up to others to build on his team's groundwork by forging future partnerships with senior government leaders.
"You realize of course it's up to you, not me. It's about whether you're willing to walk through the door we open," Patrick said.
Yesterday's event was held at District Hall on Northern Avenue, the world's first dedicated open workspace for the innovation community.
