Tour included stops at the South Florida Water Management District and Scripps Florida
Palm Beach County Economic Development Director Kevin Johns joined Claus H.D. Ranner, the Consul General of Germany, during Ranner’s day-long visit to Palm Beach County on May 27, 2008.
“This is a great opportunity for local businesses to expand their presence into the German marketplace,” Johns said.
Last year, Florida exported more than $3.2 billion in merchandise to Germany and Florida imported nearly as much merchandise from Germany. Examples of Florida’s exports to Germany include cars, turbojets, turbines and yachts.
The Consulate of Germany Familiarization Tour included visits to the South Florida Water Management District, the Palm Beach County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, the County’s Film & Television Commission and Palm Beach International Film Festival, the Business Development Board, Scripps Florida and the Port of Palm Beach. The tour was organized by the World Trade Center Palm Beach.
