"As the hub of innovation, Silicon Valley is the most natural place to hold the Expo, which will promote the international exchange of ideas, create jobs and increase revenues in our state," Schwarzenegger said. Schwarzenegger, who is on a six-day trade mission to Asia that also will take him to Japan and South Korea, made the announcement in a press conference at the USA pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo. "Shanghai demonstrated that when you host the World Expo, the world comes to you and I want the world to come to California," he said. A formal hosting application will be submitted next year, with a decision expected in 2012. Silicon Valley, along the southern rim of San Francisco Bay, is the heart of California's technology industry. The area is home to world-leading computer and Internet companies like Apple, Google and Yahoo. The Hollywood star and bodybuilder is travelling with nearly 100 leaders from sectors including technology, tourism and entertainment. The governor, whose state has been hit hard by the global recession, had vowed before the trip that he would act as a "salesman-in-chief" for California in a bid to better tap growing Asian markets like China. Saying he was "very impressed" by Shanghai's high-speed rail system, he said he hoped Chinese firms would bid for high-speed rail construction in his state. The Shanghai World Expo, which opened May 1 and closes at the end of October, has been a showcase of world culture and technology and the latest example of China's growing clout, after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The three Asian countries on Scharzenegger's itinerary are key trade partners of his state. In 2009, California exported 120 billion dollars' worth of goods to over 220 foreign markets, including 27 billion dollars to China, Japan and South Korea. Schwarzenegger is due to step down as governor in November after seven years in office.
