Note from World Trade Center

World Trade Center St. Louis hosted a delegation from our Sister City of Galway, Ireland this week. This was a reciprocal visit, arising from the St. Louis trade mission to France and Ireland in July of last year. A welcome reception was held at the Missouri Botanical Garden and the delegation toured 39 N and Cortex. The delegation also visited local universities with a view to deepening ties and furthering collaboration. The visit was a great success and we look forward to continued exchange and strengthening bonds with Galway for years to come.
