The trade mission will be the Democratic governor’s latest effort to promote Illinois to foreign businesses. Last year, Pritzker led trade missions to Canada and Japan to highlight the state’s roles in clean energy and technological innovation, and discuss ways for the state to collaborate with those nations on economic…
