Transatlantic Chamber to welcome delegation from city of Mentor

Greater Birmingham Transatlantic Chamber of Commerce is set to welcome a delegation from the US city of Mentor next month.

And businesses from across the region are being invited to an exclusive business reception with the Mentor delegation, taking place at The Alchemist in Birmingham on 22 April.

The city of Mentor is a manufacturing, healthcare and retail economic hub, just east of Cleveland, Ohio. 

The event will provide members with an opportunity to meet with key contacts as part of this delegation that have travelled to the UK to explore business partnerships.

It follows on from a visit in 2021 when a Mentor delegation came to the region to meet Chamber members from the medical sector.

It was one of several visits a delegation from the city has conducted over the last few years, resulting in bilateral visits of companies from the US to the Birmingham area, and vice versa on inbound trade missions hosted in the US.

Kevin Malecek, director for economic development and international trade at Mentor, said following the last visit: “The city of Mentor provides a soft-landing concierge-based approach to UK companies looking for business possibilities in the United States, particularly, but not limited to the healthcare and aerospace sectors, while also actively exploring partnership relationships with cities and organisations in the Midlands.”
