Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty led more than 200 business, government, academic, and civic leaders—the largest state delegation ever

organized in the United States—on a mission to China November 11-19, 2006.  Geared primarily toward trade, the mission included several

industry-focused delegations and featured events in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.  Mark Gaalswyk, CEO of Easy Automation Inc., was

invited to attend as a member of the Food, Agriculture & Renewable Energy Delegation.
