On Sept. 29, Jason Archer, vice president of business development at St. Louis Economic Development Partnership (STL Partnership), participated in a panel discussion at the 2nd Annual Industrial Readiness Summit at Conflux in St. Louis City. Hosted by Conflux Co-Learning, a community for industrial companies, the panel discussion focused on state and local resources that are available for companies to use.
