Strong relationships drive strong economies.

I’m proud to welcome leaders from Japan and states across the Southeast to Nashville for the 48th SEUS/Japan Annual Joint Meeting. We look forward to strengthening this longstanding partnership and building new opportunities for Tennessee.

Excited for what’s ahead!

The 48th SEUS/Japan Joint Meeting is underway in Nashville!

Tennessee is proud to host this annual gathering of business and government leaders from Japan and across the Southeast as we strengthen this longstanding economic partnership and explore new opportunities for collaboration and growth.

Former Gov. @BillHaslam is serving as chair alongside Japan co-chairs Yasuhiro Morita and Masaaki Tsuya of @Bridgestone.

Japan is Tennessee’s top foreign direct investment partner, with more than 200 Japanese businesses supporting nearly 50,000 jobs and $21 billion in capital investment across the state. We’re excited to build on these relationships and welcome our partners from Japan and across the Southeast to Tennessee.

With an incredible speaker line-up to kick off the conference, here are a few snapshots from day 1 so far!

Tennessee is proud to be represented by two founding members of the Southeast Regional Superintelligence (SI) Computing Consortium: @UTKnoxville and @VanderbiltU. The consortium was announced last week by the @WhiteHouse at the Science: A New Golden Age Summit. 🙌

The consortium brings together universities across the Southeast to combine resources, share capabilities and expand access to advanced computing infrastructure for scientific research. This collaboration can accelerate discovery, support commercialization and strengthen U.S. leadership in science and technology.

We’re excited to see how this effort connects Tennessee’s strengths in advanced manufacturing, energy, healthcare and logistics with partners across the region—and creates new opportunities for research, investment and high-quality jobs. 💡

I had the pleasure of joining @CollegeSystemTN Chancellor Flora Tydings to discuss how Tennessee can continue preparing our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow.

In today’s economic environment, certainty is our greatest currency. Through our partnership with the TBR, we’re helping give businesses the confidence they need to invest, grow and create opportunities across Tennessee.

We're thrilled that @Fly_Nashville just announced new nonstop service from France to Nashville, connecting Tennesseans, visitors and businesses to one of the world's leading destinations.

Strong airports and international routes open doors for investment and growth across our state, and I know this will lead to many successful partnerships throughout the future.
