Europe's Heartbeat in Phoenix - Business Stammtisch with NRW.Global Business

​Good conversation, great company, and a front-row seat to Europe’s industrial heartland.

​What do Formula One, Mars-bound spacecraft and some of the world’s most successful family-owned companies have in common?
Many of them have roots in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany’s economic powerhouse and Europe’s gateway in the heart of the continent. Global market leaders, hidden champions, top universities and a startup scene that keeps surprising: NRW has it all.

​Joerg Rose of NRW.Global Business, the State’s trade and investment agency, brings the insider’s view straight from the source. What’s really driving investment decisions in Europe right now? Where do Arizona and NRW fit together? And how can companies from the Valley of the Sun land in Europe without the headaches?

​Then Siegfried “Siggy” Rivalta of CP-Tech shows what NRW engineering looks like in real life: titanium parts built for the race track, now flying in aerospace, space and defense.

​Bring your questions, your business cards and your appetite.
