GOVERNOR PARSON TO EMBARK ON TRADE MISSION TO SWEDEN, GERMANY TO PROMOTE MISSOURI AS IDEAL BUSINESS LOCATION

Statement

Date: March 3, 2023
Issues: Trade Infrastructure

From March 10 - 17, Governor Mike Parson and First Lady Teresa Parson will travel to Sweden and Germany for an international Trade Mission. Sweden and Germany are key trade partners for Missouri, with more than $29 million and nearly $680 million in exports in 2022, respectively.

Consistent with Governor Parson's infrastructure and economic development priorities, the goal of the Trade Mission is to build relationships with key international figures to promote Missouri's strong capacity for trade.

"Missouri's global trade partners are valuable to its economy, and we're excited to again promote the Show-Me State as an ideal business location," Governor Parson said. "Leading Swedish and German companies are already investing and creating jobs right here in our state. This trade mission is another opportunity to strengthen existing relationships while encouraging future investment and growth."
