With large contingent of politicians and business leaders in tow, Gov. JB Pritzker heads to the UK to sell his vision of Illinois as EV industry hub – Chicago Tribune*

As he did during a trip to the U.K. in 2021 and to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, earlier this year, Pritzker — Illinois’ self-appointed “chief marketing officer” — is expected to tout the state’s ambitious plans for electric vehicle and clean energy development, along with the economic benefits of its central location in the U.S. and its logistics infrastructure. The governor’s office was unable to give specific examples of businesses that chose to relocate to Illinois or expand in the state as a result of those earlier trips.
