HENRICO, Va. (WWBT) – Henrico County is going global.
Three international companies are setting up shop at the new Gather West End location in Innsbrook, as they work to grow their global businesses and give back to Henrico County.
A ribbon-cutting was held at the new co-working space on Tuesday.
It is all part of a partnership with Henrico’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) that aims to attract more investment to the county.
“We believe that this county will be the soil from which our global impact grows,” Rego, Inc. Founder and CEO Yogo Dubois said.
His company, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, provides digital ID and verification services.
The two other companies moving into Henrico are:
- Saarathi Engtech, a manufacturer of aircraft hangar doors, gearboxes and screw jacks from Mumbai, India.
- Inpronic USA is a custom control panel device manufacturer from Latacunga, Ecuador.
All three are the first to participate in Henrico’s new Global Business Gateway (GBG) program, where the county offers marketing and other resources to give companies a launching pad into the U.S. business market.
“It is a two-way flow of opportunity. We are creating jobs for Virginians, high-skilled employment in tech, compliance, customer service and global operations,” Dubois said.
Rumy Mohta, president of Atlas Ventures, helped attract the Mumbai-based company and says the plan is to put down roots in Henrico.
“Employment, definitely, and bringing in more business revenue, of course. And the company has a plan in the next two to three years, God willing, to open up a manufacturing plant, investing 10+ million dollars,” Mohta said.
Dubois said he has similar goals for his company.
“First is jobs—second, investment opportunity. And third, just the impact, more tax money to the government, probably,” Dubois said.
“This is more than just a ribbon cutting. It’s the beginning of a new era for international business in Henrico,” Board of Supervisors Chair Dan Schmitt said. “With a welcoming community, a robust support network, and Gather’s premium workspaces, Henrico’s Global Business Gateway is designed to help these companies – and our community – thrive.”
