Washington, DC - Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) Director Owen Herrnstadt traveled to California this week to discuss EXIM's clean and renewable energy initiatives at events featuring local business leaders, government officials and academics.

On Monday, Director Herrnstadt spoke on a panel for the Southern Cone Reverse Trade Mission for Initiative for Mitigating Pollution and Climate Threats (IMPACT) at the University of California Irvine and highlighted EXIM's clean and renewable energy initiatives, as well as a domestic finance initiative, Make More in America. He also spoke about EXIM's China and Transformational Exports Program (CTEP) during the panel on the U.S. transition to clean energy.
