Robert Heuermann, Jr., executive director of the St. Louis Center for International Relations, is shown at the CMT 2004 trade show held in Stuttgart, Germany early in 2004.
"The St. Louis region's attractive climate for companies considering U.S. market entry or expansion, and the region's willingness to assist qualified companies in creating a favorable environment for business growth, appealed to European officials who expressed interest in exploring new opportunities," said Heuermann.
More than 50,000 European business and travel executives received information about the St. Louis region's many benefits as a business and travel destination during the nine-day CMT 2004 trade show.
