Mike Skelton conducted an economic development trip to the United Kingdom (England) from Oct. 6 to Oct. 18, 2014.  A local economic development consultant arranged meetings with ten UK firms that are planning on expansion of their business to the U.S. market within the next 12-24 months.
 
 
 
TECHUK While in London, Mike was invited to speak to about 15 members of TECHUK, the largest technology association in the UK, regarding business opportunities in the Texas and greater Dallas area for technology firms. 
 
IP EXPO
At the beginning of the trip, Mike attended the IP EXPO conference and met with over 20 firms exhibiting at the conference to discuss their possible plans for expansion of their business into the U.S. market to develop future leads for attracting them to Richardson/Telecom Corridor.
