In October 2018, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy unveiled his vision to build a stronger and fairer New Jersey economy by introducing a comprehensive economic plan with goals to foster long-term, resilient, inclusive economic growth in the Garden State. As the agency charged with advancing several initiatives outlined in the plan, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) is pleased to share some of the accomplishments and changes that have taken place in 2018 in support of Governor Murphy’s plan. Several new offices were established within NJEDA in 2018 to focus on advancing specific strategic priorities outlined in the plan. This includes the Office of International Trade and Investment, which is responsible for increasing Foreign Direct Investment into New Jersey by providing resources, information, and assistance for international businesses considering New Jersey as a business and investment destination.
