13^th Americas Competitiveness Exchange Postponed

Dear Friends of EDA:

The highest priority of the Department of Commerce is protecting the health and safety of our staff, clients, and partners. In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, we are postponing the 13^th Americas Competitiveness Exchange (ACE) program that was scheduled for May 17-22, 2020 in Colorado.

We recognize that this schedule change may affect your near-term business plans, and we hope that making this adjustment now will afford you the opportunity to make other plans.

The United States remains the best place in the world to invest and we believe that ACE provides an important forum for highlighting regional assets and facilitating the exchange of ideas to advance mutually-beneficial innovation and entrepreneurship objectives. We are committed to bilateral trade and investment between the United States and the rest of the world and we look forward to our ongoing work with so many of you.

Sincerely,

Dana Gartzke

Performing the Delegated Duties of the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development
