Best of Texas Industry meets Germany's #1 Economy

​THE EVENING

​An intimate, sit-down dinner for ~20 senior Texas leaders hosted by NRW.Global Business, the trade & investment agency of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) — Germany’s largest economic region and the gateway to 165 million European consumers within a 500-km radius.
