Gov. Matt Bevin traveled to Detroit Tuesday to promote Kentucky’s automotive industry and speak with industry leaders at the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).
The North American International Auto Show, which runs from January 11-24, is considered by industry experts to be the largest and most prestigious automotive showcase with more than 800,000 people expected to attend. The event features more than 750 vehicles and numerous interactive displays by suppliers.
“We are wasting no time in promoting and building Kentucky’s economy,” said Governor Bevin. “The North American Auto Show is a tremendous opportunity to discuss Kentucky’s signature auto manufacturing industry with some of the most influential industry leaders and decision makers from around the world. Our Commonwealth has long been among the nation’s leading auto producers and I look forward to showing CEOs from first class companies throughout the world that Kentucky is open for business.”
Last year, the show featured the introduction of 55 vehicles, the majority of which were worldwide debuts, with more than 5,000 journalists from 60 countries in attendance. For more information on NAIAS,click here .
