Using International Business to Grow Locally

Tim Nowak explains benefits of foreign direct investment in Business Facilities Magazine

As local economies look for ways to grow, many have seen a boost come from foreign direct investment (FDI), which brings new opportunities into their communities. These opportunities—such as creating new jobs, boosting wages and bringing new trade to the region—drive growth and positively impact local economies.

Tim Nowak, executive director of World Trade Center St. Louis, authored an article for the May/June issue of Business Facilities Magazine that explained how FDI can benefit communities and local economies.
